I’m on amoxicillin-clavulanate 875 mg-125 mg oral tablets right now (halfway through 7 days) for a sinus infection and I noticed my thyroid is suddenly high.
normally i am stable on 13 drops/day TyroMax. I’ve been using that for years.
I recalled that this happens every time I go on antibiotics. I never remember to expect it. But always a few days into a course of antibiotics I start having trouble sleeping. I get a high heart rate with a restless feeling and dry swollen eyes and know my thyroid dose is a shade high and needs to be adjusted.
then after I stop antibiotics it goes back to normal. Maybe this has something to do with being on tetracycline for years at a time in high school?
i’m 40 years old, female. I’ve had hypothyroidism since about 2006. It developed some time during the period I was managing a bakery, then started working in a stock room with refugees from Iran and Somalia, and then got Whooping Cough and was bed ridden for a month. My mom and my sister also have hypothyroidism. My sister’s is confirmed Hashimotos.
what does this fluctuating dosage requirement mean about the cause of my thyroid problem?
