What Is The Medication For Hypothyroidism?
I was born with only 1 thyroid gland and been taking either synthroid or levoxyl all my life, until I was switched to levoythyoxrine some years ago. Since then my health has been going downhill - am 40+ lbs overweight, more hair on the floor than on me, have had a few seizures and the dosage is always being changed. Is there some information I can get to show a PCP what medication I need as they won t listen...
