Ok guys, heres a tuff one on me and my wife has asked me to question this, and here is the background for my Question :
I’ve been looking at quitting smoking, as well as having other problems that my Dr. has found; and we’ve been paying particular attention to reading what
can happen if you take this with other drugs as well as the complications that can happen with taken the associated drugs.
All of the patches, creams and salves have stated that a " dose" could be transmitted to your spouse in physical contact, sexual contact etc.
and if that happened to stop taking the drug.

I’m on Levothyroxin (137MCG) Generic for Synthroid (137MCG) one tab per day.
In the beginning when i took the whole pill my wife states that i was a " Bastard to get along with " (i noted no internal changes tho).
Now i take a half pill in the morning and a half pill in the evening and she likes me a whole lot better….lol

ANY HOW : Could this medicine be transmitted to her causing her to have a itch that is kinda likend to " shingles " ?
Itch and pain on the legs and lower back and an eruption on the top curve of the right buttock .
she started this reaction a short time after i first started taking this medicine and still continues to this day.
Any replys would be most helpful.
We had not thought about this until reading the whole package insert that came with the meds.

thanks

bob

Thyroid hormone replacement cannot be transmitted to your spouse through any kind of contact ~ it just doesn’t work that way. Have your wife see a dermatologist and see what’s going on, it sounds extremely painful!

The truth with thyroid hormone replacement is that we take a pill today so that we build up stores of thyroid hormone and make them available for use on a consistent basis, but it doesn’t act like pain meds or anything else we’re used to, where you taking it incrementally helps maintain a consistent level in your blood, so taking half in the morning and half at night shouldn’t make any difference at all in how you feel or behave. It might just be that you’d come to a level of consistency right around the time you made that decision, so it seems as if the two things are connected. Still, it won’t hurt you to do it this way, it’s just more complicated and more to remember.
