I have been taking thyroxin for 6 years and new formula affecting me but thyroxin has I am sure contributed to my weight gain as I was always only 110 pounds even after having 8 pregnancies,the last baby born mid 30`s.
I am a carrier of Fragile X and at 51 years of age I am no longer in menopause as I went through this in my 30`s and early 40`s and had no insomnia till starting on levothyroxin this year when NZ govenment stopped funding the original formula of thyroxin which i had taken for 5 years, and I couldn`t afford to pay for original.
Insomnia is getting worse and I want to just quit thyroxin as I now weigh 11 stone and even if I don`t eat anything except fruit and veges, and I am having terrible constipation and diarrhia alternately for last 4 months, even with eating porridge, prunes, kiwi fruit, raw veges, prune juice, bran products, cutting out sugar, doing lots of walking, exercise, etc.

I can identify with writer who says she was always small and is now big on thyroxin!
