Hi Everyone ,
Sorry to be a bore coz I have asked this before but do any of you
hypo sufferers get bouts of dizziness.I have had dizzy spells on and off for the last 7 yrs -since before diagnosed.I have recently had my levothyroxine increased to 125mg a day and am hoping that this will make me feel better as I have had almost all of the recognised symptoms again. My doctor seems uninterested so I am going to ask to be referred to an endo as I have not seen one yet. I have found all of your messages very informative and helpfull -also very interesting !At last I have someone to talk to who understands xx Hopefully I will get to chat to some of you in the chatroom .Couldn't stay awake till 2am last night(I am 4 hrs ahead in Scotland).Keep up the good work and love to you all !

Hi Shona,
I'm going to bump your post up to see if anyone has any help for you.
Have you checked into going to the endoc. yet?
Chat is very late for you but we'd love to have you there if you can stay awake.
I have terrible dizziness, getting worse each week. Yesterday, my doc prescribed Meclazine. She's waiting for my endo appointment on April 23 before prescribing meds. She said I have an inflamed thyroid from some sort of illness, but she doesn't know what. Well, I took the full dose last night, and I woke up with a splitting headache, then as the day went on today, I was not only dizzy but incredibly sleepy also. One of the warning stickers on the medication says "may cause dizziness." Then why the heck am I taking it??? I took half a dose tonight, so we'll see how that goes.
Good luck to you!
