Well the first couple of days I really began to feel great with lots of
energy. I was thinking that I was approaching feeling like a normal person
except for a few joints that still were not working well (they really need
some major lubrication!) . Except for the funny tingling itchy sensation
that almost seemed to worsen with each day. Then I noticed that my anxiety
levels were rising. Now for the last two days or so I've had a headache and
nausea. So yesterday I decided to cut my pill in half - because it was
scored and he had said something about playing with the dosage. I'm on 25mcg
and I'm splitting that in half. I think tomorrow I will just not take it and
see how I feel. Yes, I'm taking it on an empty tummy first thing in the
morning with just my coffee which I was told was perfectly OK to drink my
coffee. But I just thought of something - I use Coffeemate (brand, used
instead of cream/milk) in my coffee and it has soybean oil in it. There is a
warning about giving this med to children using soybean formula. Anyway I
hardly ever eat breakfast and I don't bother taking anything else until I do
eat something a few hours later.

Shakiness - yes, that would almost describe my anxiety - it's as if I'm
really nervous about something but I'm not yet my body thinks I am.

I don't remember what my levels were - I guess I should have asked for a
copy. But I was just slightly elevated (meaning the thyroid was a just tiny
bit sluggish).

I wonder if the Coffeemate is making a difference?

I have no appetite. I ate something about 2:30 today and have no desire for
dinner tonight - in fact I had my husband heat something in the microwave
for his dinner because I thought that even the smell of food would make me
vomit.

I'm just thirsty but then I'm always running around with a dry mouth.

Oh Janers you are so helpful - I'll bet the dosage is  too much and the
Coffeemate is interfering too.

I'm not itchy as in hives or anything that would pose a life threatening
situation - at least not at this point in time. It's just if I touch
something I set up this sensation. I think it hits my hands first because
I'm handling my pill box and my coffee, then I strand up and walk - toes,
rub my eyes or touch my nose - itch! Brush my hair and I want to scratch my
scalp with the brush not brush my hair. Then it seems to go away. I noticed
on the weekends I wake up and take my pill and climb back into bed. I'm
supposed to take it at the same time every day. My hands might start to itch
but I fall asleep and when I wake up I don't have the problem.

Also by the end of the day I feel better than the morning. I think I'll call
the doc on Monday and see what happens if I don't take it tomorrow, and then
only take a half pill on Sat and not drink any Coffeemate in my coffee, and
then skip Sunday. Hmmmm.
