Thank you, Tammy. :)
I hope I didn't sound too upset. I'm just about to throw something. :( It now appears that the Keppra is the main fever culprit, as I get it about 2-3 hours after taking it, but my thyroid level is probably slightly above normal, too, because I have to quarter the stupid pills, since the dose I need isn't available from the manufacturer right now. I just dug up their number and am calling tomorrow. The pharm said that even pill cutters (which I have noticed) don't always neatly cut, and I may be getting about 10-20 extra milligrams (of Armour Thyroid) in some cases, which is a lot, considering I only take 45 mg! :( Didn't sleep worth crap last night, but I took 8-hour Tylenol and didn't get a fever. ;) (I'm on 500 mg Keppra (Levetiracetam) 2x/day.)
LIZARD, still piecin' it all together...

Well, Liz, I hope it gets better for you. How much Keppra are you
taking? It would certainly be a shame to not be able to use a drug
that has been so effective for you. It does sound like you are very
sensitive to many types of medications. That is inconvenient, to say
the least!
Take care,
Tammy
