I currently take .88 levoxrythine (down from 200 from last year) still having hyper symptoms, and waiting on lab results to see if i need to go lower. i want to try nature thyroid to see if it will work better than the synthetic. Im still having lots of achy joints, muscles, slight anxiety and sleep problems. Anyone taking this? i like to hear some experiences from others. Im hoping it will do well, time will tell.. thanks
The first and only Med. I have been on is Nature-Throid. I too had the achy joints and slight anxiety. I would say that thankful that those 2 symptoms have gone away. I do still have the muscle aches in my calves, just a feeling as if I had been exercising and they are tight and week. No extremely bad just a bit annoying. I am also still suffering from a bit of depression and sleep a lot.
I am now on 1 1/4 grain of Nature-throid and I feel I have improved but still do not feel I am where i should be.
My dr. has me on progesterone, testosterone, dhea, vit. d. and antidepressants. I still do not have the energy I would like to have, but feel like at least I am working toward something.
I hope this info helps you.... Let me know if you change and if it works for you... good luck.
