Someone please kill me...

For about 15 months, I was taking talking a minimal dose of Synthroid (0.0125MG). When I had it renewwed last December, I started getting all kinds of symptoms ("hyper" feel, for one. ). After checking out the medication carefully, I noticed that the dose is double of what I actually take (0.025). The idiot doctor made a mistake!

I've been two months at double dose, and to be honest, the side effects are freaking me out (thinning of bones, weight loss, teeth pain, hair loss,...). Thank God I realized the mistake before losing my hair.


I've gone through hell in the past two months, and the hard part is ahead. I'm meeting with my endocrinologist this afternoon to see what can be done and when to start the new dose.


Fuck incompetence.

There was literally no reason to up the dosage? If that's the case, you're looking at gross negligence and medical malpractice for sure. This is yet another story that makes me have little to no faith in the Canadian medical system and the majority of its doctors. Hopefully things get better now that you're off the double dosage, but that's a harrowing experience all the same.

I'm incredibly sorry to hear about that Citan, I really hope that things get better for you.

 

[Postman Dave]

I'd want whoever's responsible fired for shit like that. Glad you noticed it Citan.

For the record, IMO the medical standards in this country ain't much better. I've pretty much sworn off doctors at this point unless I absolutely have to.

Sorry to hear that Citan. This is shit that is happening all over the world. I hope you get things in order and get better buddy.

 

[Sabretooth]

Fuck I'm sorry. I hope you get better

 

[Petty]

Hope you feel better soon pal!

 

[Death Dealer]

Kick that doctor in the taint to make him shit himself. I'm not sure if it works that way but it sounds legit. :inferno: Hope you feel better.

Apoligies, there was no mistake from the doctor. I checed it and was the same dose. I could have sworn it was 00.125, but it wasn't lol. x_X

I, however, have been feeling like shit since I started taking the medication again. Met with an endocrinolosit, and I'll be taking blood tests on monday.

WIll keep you guys updated.

Good to hear that it wasn't as bad as it could've been, hopefully everything goes alright with the blood test!

 

[Sabretooth]

So you made us feel bad for you for nothing. WTF :

 

[Citan]

Feel bad fer me, pl0x ;

Turns out it was an extremely rare allergic reaction to the color of the medication (Synthroid).


FIrst an extremely rare neurodegenertive disease (HD), and then this...I'm so privileged by fate...
