Some good news!

[cal1971]

I got my TSH result today from my Dr, and it was a predicatable 1.0

However, she has read what I sent her ( see previous blog with the email I sent about needing 0.3- 0.5) and has actually agreed to let me increase my dose to 75mcg Levo

( previously 50mcg) and have another test in 6 weeks- horrah!!! I was expecting a battle with her to be honest, but she was fine about it!

I asked her about giving me an endo refrerral for the other tests ( FT3 and 4, iron, ferritin etc) and she said she has to ring them for 'advice' and then see if they will agree to test me...which sounds a bit ominous, so am still bearing in mind I might have to go private.

But still- there is a chance that the increase in Levo will do the job, so fingers crossed!

P/S First dose tonight- how long will it take to have an effect? Have been on 50mcg for 12 years.......

Good luck and hope you feel the benefit of the increase soon? When my GP upped my level i felt it within a few days (although he said this was impossible as it takes weeks to take effect). I think I know my own body better than him so was amazed that he could say this! Hope you feel the benefits as quickly as i did?
