How To Treat Itching In Neck, Throat And Arms While On Synthroid?

I am having severe itching on my neck and throat. I started with 50 mcg synthroid, then 75 and am now on 100 since Dec. 2014. I started to notice the severe itching on my neck and arms about 1 month on the 100 dose. My numbers were very high and now my last blood test the number was .45.

Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

Are you taking other medications too along with this one for thyroid???

You should consult your physician to adjust the dose of synthroid. It looks like due to this dosage of synthroid.

Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.

Best Regards!
