My understanding GP left our practice a few months ago. I was asked to have a blood test as an annual medication review. My TSH had climbed from 0.46 to 1.24 (0.4-4.5). I was taking 50mg Levo but was tired, my hair was falling out, I felt cold and my weight had climbed by 5kg. The GP rang to ask me to

So many of us are told by doctors that a very low/suppressed TSH will probably cause AFib or osteoporosis, and we have our dose reduced. We maintain that it's a high/over range T4 and T3 that may do that, not the TSH level. We say that as long as T4 and T3 are well within their reference ranges, we
