Steve - Very interesting article! I am suffering with the dizziness as we speak. Keep blinking my eyes to clear my vision too - for me as far as the thyroid goes - I’m not sure if I’m on the right dose or not - I currently take .05 of Levoxyl - though recently it seems that maybe it’s too much? The dizziness is really bad - there are times (through the last several years) that my legs are just covered with bruises because of the dizziness and me bumping into things. I hate that. I wondered if over the last several weeks the dizziness seems to be worse because I went to California and my Levoxyl was in extreme heat - I left it in my tent during the day and it probably reached at least 100 degrees in there - not sure if it ruined it or not? I had must filled a 100 day supply too. Lately when I take the thyroid (I didn’t even take any yesterday - just to see how I felt - which I felt pretty good actually) I feel dizzy afterward - I just took some this evening and I notice now I have a headache and feel dizzy when I didn’t have a headache before. I also feel revved up after I take it. I still need to call my doctor and find out what my test results from 2 weeks ago are.

Also - regarding amalgam fillings - I had all mine removed about 10 years ago. I only have composite fillings. Hopefully we can find the answer to all this - ugh! Regarding the migraines - I get the spots in front of my eyes too - I am also extremely sensitive to sound (when my cortisol is low I am too) and don’t want to eat or talk. I’m looking forward to menopause - but then at the same time worried it will be really hard on my bones because of taking the steroids.(I’m 44 now - so probably have another 6 or  years at least) Oh - I’m not exactly sure what’s in Dexamethasone - it’s a generic for Decadron - a long lasting steroid. You only take it once a day.
