G.P that understands antibodies 😊
Just got back from the Docs, explained that still feeling exhausted. He initially started me on 25mcg of Levo and has now increased to 50mcg. He said considering the high TPO antibodies, symptoms and recent results, there is no reason to not increase the dose. Finally feel listened to. 😊

I'm 17. I've had hashimotos since the beginning of 2016. My conditions haven't really improved AT ALL. Some have, most have not. I am incredibly tired all of the time, and I have had iron infusions so that shouldn't be it. I have a terrible tummy and feel sick after eating basically anything. I am
