Hi,
I suffered from grave disease which led to my thyroid being removed (mostly). I am now on Levothyroxine 125mg daily.
I suffer from really bad itching and quite bad skin rashes, getting worth, but I can't get the doctors to believe levothyroxine. I'm at my wit's end I'm itching daily all over my body rashes all over my body.
Anyone got any recommendations to help relieve my symptoms.
I'm on countless allergy tablets and creams, including steroids.
Nothing's working as I believe it's Levothyroxine causing the problems and I can't stop them.
Anyone got any advice?
Help!
Please
