I was taking .112 mg. of Levothyroxine for years and decided to switch to Armour because I thought it would be better for me. I was given a dose of 30 mg. and was supposed to go back in for a TSH test in a month and I felt fine the first couple of months so I neglected to go in for the TSH test and after three months on that dose I went in because I had to refill my perscription. My thyroid was low and I'd been having hypo symptoms achey muscles & joints, muscle spasms, and fatigue, for about a month and bad headaches every once in a while. I started on an increased dose of Armour 90 mg four days ago and I have had a horrible headache everyday. Nothing relieves it but taking Ibeprofen and I don't want to take it at all, but I can't stand these headaches. They start at the base of my head in the occipital region and spread up the back of my head. I am thinking I might have to go back on Levo, even though I don't want to, because I felt much better while taking it. I'm afraid of the side effects though. Do you have any suggestions for me?
Thanks.
