 Cytomel Side Effects: dry eyes, cramps
Just wondering if anyone has experienced this:
An increase in cramps (esp. feet) when exercising after having started using cytomel? I have been a long time swimmer, consistently practicing 3-4 times per week. I hydrate regularly and my diet includes plenty of foods rich in potassium. With the addition of cytomel to my thyroid replacement meds, I have been experiencing extreme cramping in my feet when working out. So much so, I am forced to stop. I don't know if it has anything to do with the cytomel, but am assuming there is a correlation and I wonder if anyone knows why....
Secondly, I recently scratched my cornea. My contact lens stuck to my eye b/c it was so dry, and my cornea was injured when I removed the contact. The doctor was sure it would heal in less than a week. It's been almost TWO MONTHS and my cornea is still scratched. It doesn't hurt anymore...just annoying (weekly visits to the eye doctor). I have had two ophthalmologists examine my eye, and both concluded that my eyes were too dry for the new growth in cells to stick. I have been using eye drops. It's getting better...but growth is sooooo slow.
Does anyone know cytomel may be causing this or is this all in my head?!?
