Right now, I feel like I’m on a seesaw. I found out on Wednesday that I’ve been feeling poorly, crappy because I’ve been having an allergic reaction to a medication called Synthroid. I’ve been on it for about 3 months now, after my thyroid medication of choice (Armour Thyroid) became unavailable. My previous doctor told me that I just needed to let my body adjust to the medication.
But, I decided that I needed a second opinion. So, Wednesday I was able to see another doctor and she said, “Well, you can try to wait out a reaction like that, but eventually your skin will peal off.” Yikes!!! So, this new doctor prescribed a medication that is very similar to the Armour Thyroid, which I started taking on Friday.
I had already been a bit out of it from the Synthroid, now it’s a whole new weird adjusting to this new medication. Up, down, up down….. Let’s just hope that whoever is on the other end of the see saw doesn’t decide to jump ship.
