Why do I still feel constantly exhausted, sleepy, and keep gaining weight even though my thyroid levels are normal on Eltroxin 100mcg, and could these symptoms, along with my burning eyes, be related to my high uric acid or the new medication, Febutaz 40, that I have been prescribed?
Eltroxin (levothyroxine) is managing your hormone levels, persistent fatigue and weight gain can sometimes be linked to vitamin deficiencies or metabolic changes. Regarding Febutaz 40 (febuxostat), starting this medication can occasionally cause temporary drowsiness or fatigue. Your burning eyes might be related to dry eyes, which is common in thyroid conditions, or a mild reaction to the new medication. I gently reassure you that these are manageable; please discuss these symptoms with your doctor to explore vitamin checks or adjust your treatment safely.
