Reduced Levothyroxine Dose

100 mcg levothyroxine reduced to 88, because TSH too low, but after 8 days fingers feel numb and very cold, does T4 reduce that quickly?

Hello, Babs! How are you? Are you still getting the cold and numbness?

That sounds like Raynaud's Syndrome and it's difficult to know if it may be due to your thyroid condition, the medication or both.

How easily do your fingers and toes get cold and numb during cooler weather?
