Hi I have been a to the doctors today, To get the results of my blood test, last one was feburary 2012, I was just wondering if uping my dose from 100mg to another 25mg will make me feel any better,Ive been a member for a while but never posted, and find it all quite confusing,

TSH 6.3

T4 14

Thanks Anita webb

seeing that your TSH is high I don't see why an increase should not be tried.

if you respond well to levo it should make you feel better, trying does not hurt, what did your doctor say about your results and how you feel?

Hi thanks for your reply, I have crept up since 25mg -100mg since i was diaganosed, I dont think i've ever felt right, and i take alot of other medication for a back problem, but i'm in alot of pain, and i'm hoping the increase will help,the doctor didnt really say alot, just should feel better with the increase,and to go back for another blood test soon,
