Another New Issue
Posted: Sat Jun 14, 2014 1:20 pm
It always seems like that once I have conquered one issue, another one pops up. Doctor started my on Levothyroxine two weeks ago. I have gained 15 pounds in that time. My appetite has majorly increased and I'm retaining fluid. This is not something that I need right now. It will take every ounce of strength to not eat more than I should. This happened to me in 2010, when I was on three drugs, for WED. My legs were out of control at that time. I gained 45 pounds. I can remember, that almost each day I gained weight. I had to go on a very strict diet (which is very difficult for me) and eventually got rid of the drugs. That was when I replaced them with the Methadone. I'm always trying to loose weight anyway, and I just don't need this right now.
Also my WED has gotten worse. With my luck it's the thyroid med that's doing this. Anytime i read that a med affects the muscles, I'm suspicious. Yesterday, I started getting symptoms by 2 in the afternoon, and didn't stop for several hours. It's been a long time since that has happened. It reminds me of when I couldn't relax on the weekends, when I was still working. I could never sit during that period. So, I will just have to see how it goes.
