If you are seeing the same doctor that prescribed the asthma medication, he knows about that condition. The two are not connected and taking the thyroid medicine will have no affect on your asthma, good or bad.

If you are asthmatic, does the doctor actually approve you taking allergy medication too?

Hypothyroidsim will cause fatigue, weight gain, irritability, memory loss, and all the other things you are describing.

Start taking your thyroid medicine today, probably on an empty stomach, and make sure you drink your eight glasses of water. Avoid salt, and fatty foods.

You might print out your question and call the doctor's office with it in front of you. Tell the nurse what your questions are, in a coherent manner, and ask her to talk with the doctor and get back with you.

But start taking your pills as directed. You will feel better for it.

I am confused as to why you were prescribe Inderal, as that is a medication for hypertension, and you should not be taking it if you have asthma or a thyroid condition.<br> <br> You need to see an Endocrinologist to address your goiter and/or thyroid disease. The thyroid is a very complex and sensitive gland. If your thyroid is not correct, your whole mind and body can be affected. It can cause you to be fatigued, lose your hair, be depressed, have mental confusion and irritability...and yes...even a ringing in the ear. You can have heart palpitations and lose or gain weight. Again, I highly urge you to see an Endocrinologist, as they are the experts. You will most likely be put on medication and sent for a scan and/or biopsy of the goiter or nodule. Make sure that you come prepared with a copy of your latest blood work. As soon as you are on the correct medication your symptoms will get much better. But do not delay going to see an Endo.<br> <br> I have suffered with thyroid disease for years, and my medication is always monitored. If you have any other questions, feel free to email me.

I know I'm asking alot..? by me http://www.xiaoxiaoschool.cn/other-health/anyone-with-a-thyroid-problem-or-goiter-taking-levoxyl-or-generic-with-memory-loss-i-know-im-asking-alot/comment-page-1/#comment-1811 me Thu, 26 Aug 2010 05:10:29 +0000 http://www.xiaoxiaoschool.cn/other-health/anyone-with-a-thyroid-problem-or-goiter-taking-levoxyl-or-generic-with-memory-loss-i-know-im-asking-alot/#comment-1811 Yes!! I've been taking it for seven years. At first I was only taking 25 mcg but the dr keeps increasing it since i had my daughter. I never noticed any changes untill they pushed it to115 mcg. I was a whole different person. At first, I just felt more energetic and happy..but then I started forgetting things, un able to sleep longer than an hour or two at a time, un able to control anger, super hungry. I felt manic. This medicine can be a god send at the right dose, but when it's a little off it messes with every asspect of your life. Get you're levels checked again. It could actualy even be too low because hypothyroidism causes brain fog. Either way, you need to find out for sure because it can get worse. Yes!! I've been taking it for seven years.

I have a hard time making new friends but when you can find some people and get to share more time with them it is very easy to like them or not, they'll like the way you are but remember that thinking of them will do wonders, because they will actually take care of you, that thing you really want. Beside pray The Lord he can give you wisdom in everything you choose, you are just 20 enjoy it!
