Started Taking Up Eltroxin (Levothyroxine Sodium)
August 1st, 2008
Bought 60 pieces of Eltroxin from Mercury Drug Market Market the other day. I was truly hoping that I wont be needing it, but I feel that I may need to start taking it since the tiredness and sleepiness is coming back.
Eltroxin, or Levothyroxine Sodium (generic name) is a Thyroid hormone. Meaning my thyroid gland is no longer producing enough amount of thyroid hormone that’s why I need to take supplements.
If you’ve been following my life, (which you don’t) you probably know that once I was diagnosed of being a hyperthyroidism (and have been taking up Tapazole/Strumazole for years now).
Last December 2007, after years of stabilizing/normalizing my thyroid hormone, I finally undertook the Radioactive Iodine treatment, to supposedly cure my hyperthyroidism.
Which it did btw, hence at present I am now a hypo.. hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism is the condition of the thyroid gland where it produces less-than-normal amount of thyroid hormone.
That’s what Eltroxin is for.
And now, August 1, 2008… I started taking it.
