After my last blood results i was advised by thyroid uk to decrease my levo from 150mcg to 125mcg. I am prescribed 100mcg from my doctor and self source the rest but my trusted supplier no longer sell levo. Please someone pm me as i no longer have any 50s to cut in half so need to self source 25mcg and its only been 2wks since i decreased and am frightend of feeling ill again like i did yrs ago. Please help.
