Back to life thanks to this forum! GP Next steps though - further levo increase?
My
TSH
is down but should that be lower still? I do feel so much better but I understand if you are correctly medicated on levo you should be nearer 1-2
TSH
?
I have a further GP apt this week to discuss next steps but they are seemingly being led by me. Should I ask for another levo increase?

Still having symptoms of hypothyroidism despite medication - any advice?
At one point, both my T4 and
TSH
were high (out of range) at the same time, but they said they couldn’t do any other investigations (or test T3 etc). All of my T4 and
TSH
results are in my profile, but I can copy them into the comments if that helps.

T3 prescription
I have spent the last 3 years asking gp for endo referral to be told
tsh

Worried about TSH levels :( 0.04mlU/L
I am taking a small 3mg of T3 with a private prescription and my NHS endo has said, this prescription is causing my lower
TSH
- but that feels like I'm being gaslight again. I'm feeling soo fatigued and stressed trying to get it sorted.

Possible to be both Hyperthyroid & Hypothyroid?
My GP said that as my
TSH
is 1.44 I'm in the sweet spot and an increase isn't required. She then went on to inform my that I had been Hyperthyroid initially and now Hypothyroid.. is that even possible?

His
TSH

Thoughts on test results
I asked my GP last week to run a full thyroid panel based on this, but she said they’d only do
TSH
initially, hence the private test. I took my blood as per your instructions.
