Thyroid meds??
Hey All!
I'm just wondering if any of you are taking Thyroid meds that are helping with your PN? I've been having lots of achiness in my arms and legs. The last time I saw my dr. he said he wanted me to try these 2 Thyroid meds...Levothroxine and Cytomel. I'm trying them for a month and then reporting back to him. Well after being on them for 2 weeks my pain is much less! I'm still taking Lyrica but it's not like I have to take it around the clock.....every 4 hrs like I have been doing because the pain was SO bad.
So anyway.....I guess this means I'm lacking some Thyroid in my system and now have to take 2 more prescriptions....like I don't take enough already...$$$! But I'm happy to have less pain.......I can't seem to win!
