Recently, as the fatigue had become difficult after having covid, I found my B12 levels were low, so I started treatment for that. My fatigue improved about 2 weeks later. I looked at my

tsh ‘suppressed’ but I want to stay on 125mcg levo. Thoughts?
Morning all! Just had results back from gp thyroid panel (so only tsh and t4). 23rd April Tsh: 0.2 (range 0.27-4.2) T4: 15.9 (10.5-24.5) I’d asked for an increase in levo from 100-125mcg and had been taking the increased dose for around 10 weeks when I had this test. Here are my previous results

Yearly endo nonsense
I've given up ranting, this just seems to be yearly confirmation of what we are up against (sadly most don't get as far as Endochrinoloy. My GP surgery recently asked me to confirm my Levo dose?

How to change from T3 only to T4?
I'm currently self medicating on 50mcg Tiromel and have been for a few years. My doctor prescribed me 75 mcg Eutirox 5 x week and 88 on the weekends. It just wasn't working for me, so after a lot of reading I assumed I was just someone with a faulty conversion gene and decided to try alternatives.

Upon starting a 0.25 euthyrox (T4) dosage, my TSH surged to 18, coinciding with the onset of mild discomfort in my rectal area, which I suspect may be hemorrhoids. Despite a dosage increase to
