Ovarian Cancer Survivor Suffering From Hashimoto S Disease. Feeling Exhausted, Headache And Itching. On Levothyroxine. Is This A Safe Medication?
I am an 13 year ovarian cancer survivor . I now have hashimotos. They put me on levothyroxin 50 mcg. I feel terrible- extreamly exhausted, dry mouth, mild headache and itchy. 2 questions: why do I feel this way after being on meds for 5-6 weeks? Is it save to take when you had a hormone based cancer? So many different opinions

dear ma'm, thanks for trusting HCM for your queries. as your symptoms suggest either you are undertreated for hashimotos thyroiditis or you are having nutritional deficiency . get your vitamin D , vitamin B12, serum calcium, serum albumin. get your reports and see your doctor. regards!
