Background - My antibodies ate my thyroid sometime this March - Deep joy- Hashimotos.
Ah so (sorry) - from a TSH reading of 75 on April 18th to TSH 13 on 18th May, Thursday';s blood test showed TSH 6. It has to be said I am feeling better (on D3; Folic and Iron as well) - I kind of run out of energy around 3pm ish - worse than the normal pm slump - so Prof B has raised my dose for the next 6 weeks....wants me around 1..... Would appreciate your comments as always!
Hello
Yes I would have said this is quite normal, usually because they are trying to get the right dose for you and don't want to overdo it. I think the tablets only come in 25, 50 and 100 so if you need something in between 75 and 100 its the only way to do it. I was on 125mcg one day and 100 the next. Now on 125 every day. I imagine when you have your TSH tested again they will see where it is and either leave the dose as it is or go straight to 100 per day.
Hope this helps, take care Jan
Just a reminder to new people on this site -ALWAYS ask for the results and references from blood tests, don't let GP just say 'Normal, bye'The rise of my prescription from 75 to 100 /75 on alternate days did not cause my oedema
Dr just agreed to Levo dose increase on the basis of the new NICE dosing guidelines 😁
Thyroxine dose dropped from 200mcg down to 150mcg - feeling lightheaded and slight nausea for a week. Is this because of my dose change?
Why is the target range for people on Thyroxine not lower in the UK? Should I increase my dose myself?
