       Change of meds.
       By: Moira Date: May 19, 2025, 4:47 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I called into the Chemist here today to see why my Thyroxine
       meds. had changed.... been there... done that not so long ago
       ..... BUT THE meds. are THE SAME ... says the chemist lady (
       Nice lady )  BUT I am NOT the same .... tired, not hungry and so
       on and so forth ..... !
       ONLY the NAME has changed !!! Bollocks!
       SO I then went to the CLINIC here.. only OPEN on a Monday and
       Thursday !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got in to see the nurse on duty  (
       good job the female on reception knows who I am ... Hello MOIRA
       :))))))))) The nurse took my BP etc etc and all is good so she
       will talk to the GP and get me back on the original Thyroxine
       pills !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
       I am convinced THAT Is why I am more lethargic and get cramps
       and not interested in eating much and so on and so forth ! I DID
       Look back on our posts as I KNOW I have mentioned this before on
       here but there is NOT that much to see !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pass !

       So today John went to the local Chemist to pickup my supposedly
       NEW / OLD prescription for Thyroxine and what is it ???
       
       ELTROXIN.. I got the same 30 pills last week .....  I WANTED
       Levothyroxine. So the chemist lady swapped the label so it said
       LEVOTHYROXINE and said they are the same !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PASS.
       I am going to try and get an APPT. with a DOCTOR .... one day
       !!!!!!!!!!
       As a PS. The doctor who prescribed the same pills .... DR.
       P.Krinyak !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Pass
       again !!!!!!!!!!

       I just did a quick search and found that Levothyroxine has been
       taken off the drug federation asssociation and they are using
       Eltroxin. Definitely get an appointment with your Dr and talk to
       him about the change and that you aren’t liking the change. You
       know your body better than anyone else 💜

       YES I too have read that and MOST of the stuff is the
       same.......... SO why do I have my problems ....... ?
       Today I went to Whanganui shopping and called into the GP clinic
       and the girl / female on reception said HELLO MOIRA :)) Yes she
       was the one that comes to Waverley .. nice lady !  YES... I have
       also said that before, I KNOW !
       I wanted to speak to a doctor .... none available but she
       slipped me in to talk to a nurse ..... free of charge !  The
       young Maori nurse could not help me despite looking up my
       records ete  so I now have an appt. with the YOUNG GP Josh
       Firmin here in Waverley .....................12th June !!!!!!!.
       AH well maybe AGEING is my problem ?????????????????????

       Perhaps your Thyroid levels are a little out of balance, or it's
       just your body adjusting to a change or something. I'm glad you
       have a Drs appointment though and hopefully it will all be
       sorted soon for you.
       I have a cold or something!!!!! Robert started it while we were
       away, I thought his was from sleeping with the air con on as
       that often mucks him up, but it was more than that and now he
       has shared it with me.....bloody man!!!! My throat is scratchy,
       I have a dry cough and a headache, just what I need!!!!!!!!!!!

       OH HELP sleep with the air con on all night ??????????????? That
       would block up my sinus and anything else !!!!!!!!!! That is
       enough to make anyone ill in my book .. cough and headache too !
       ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Darien))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
       )))
       ...... and Robert :)
       I too think it may be my Thyroid messing up ATM so we shall see
       in a week or so !!!!!!!!!!  I also think THIS has happened
       before !!!!!!!!!!!

       It's not something I prefer to do, sleep with the air con on all
       night, but in hotels it's often the way as the windows don't
       open. We had a balcony and could have left the doors open, but
       then we would have had bugs and things inside the room and it
       was a bit warm too. It's definitely a cold and I am NOT
       amused!!!!!!
       No doubt you have had your Thyroid messing up before, which is
       why you need to have regular blood checks

       AH yes of course Bugs in the bedroom !!! I never thought of that
       BUT still I think would have the window open if it was HOT !
       I too think it is my thyroid and I used to get it tested every 6
       months but they said it only needs to be done once a year now
       !!!!!!!!! BUT we shall see !!!!

       As it was, Robert had a cold and it wasn't the air con after all
       and he shared it with me!!!!!!!!
       It's a shame you couldn't get in earlier to see the Dr, but you
       can have the blood test done before then, can't you? Do you have
       the referral to do so? If so, then have it done and the Dr just
       might call you in before your next appointment
