Really itchy all of a sudden

A month ago, my physician said I had an enlarged thyroid and my antibodies were found to be >3000. He put me on the lowest dose of levothyroxide and planned a follow-up with me in three months. Two days ago, I woke up in the middle of the night, unbelievably itchy. I thought it was maybe because I was allergic to something and then it disappeared. But now, two nights back-to-back, I keep waking up because it's either too hot (even though my partner says it's cold) and having to itch all over. Is this because my dose is too low? I was never like this before I got on the medication. I'm usually fine during the day, but for some reason in the evening into the night, it happens.

Hi, I found from an allergist that I have a corn allergy. Amazingly enough, my thyroid medication was in a base of corn starch. He told me of a pharmacy that could recompound my medication without the corn or lactose that is in the tablet. It has made a huge difference for me. And everyone around me noticed. You might have an allergy to something in the tablet other than the medication.

Good luck!

You might be having a allergic reaction from  levothyroxide ingredients. Ask doctor for you to try another brand.  Not all brands are alike.

My TSH levels are in the 'normal range' (1.2), Thyroglobulin Auto Antibodies are >3000 and Tyhroid Peroxidase Auto Ab are 204.

Anyone out there recommend Armour over levo?
