Thyroid.
I’m lucky in that my doctor has been willing to accept my views on drugs, when I came back to England I obviously registered with my local GP in order to get officially diagnosed and hopefully receive the appropriate disability benefits. Being so limited physically and being restricted to my home 24/7 meant that as much as I hate being house bound and dependent I’d need financial assistance and I’m so grateful and fortunate that happened. Back to my point, I think because of my background and experience she (the doctor) accepted that I wouldn’t take any drugs (it’s not medication it’s a freaking pharmaceutical addictive drug). However a few years ago I agreed to take Levothyroxin as my thyroid was low, as in hypothyroidism. In my previous post I suggested Googling any drug, I did just that for Levothyroxin and here are the side effects listen on their site.
The more common side effects of levothyroxine can include:
tiredness
increased appetite
weight loss
heat sensitivity
excessive sweating
headache
hyperactivity
nervousness
anxiety
irritability
mood swings
insomnia (trouble sleeping)
tremors
muscle weakness
menstrual irregularities
hair loss (usually temporary)
diarrhea
vomiting
stomach cramps
And that’s just for thyroid, I don’t take and never have taken any MS drugs, it scares the crap thinking what they might be.
