Levothyroxine
hashimoto's disease
"I was put on Levothyroxine about 6 months ago then sent for further evaluation and was diagnosed with Hashimoto's.  The levothyroxine has caused more inflammation.  My right knee is so inflamed I wound up going for an MRI to find out why it hurt so bad.  I stopped taking the levothyroxin and  my knee started feeling better within two days of stopping.  I also feel less swollen overall.  I don’t think this drug helps at all and in my case just made me worse.  I’m no longer taking it,  it’s not worth it to be in so much pain.  I’ll have to find an alternative way of dealing with my autoimmune issues."
