Had my second lot of blood test results today and things seem to be improving;

Blood test done on 9/5/13;

Serum free T4: 4.6 (11-24)

Serum TSH level: >100 (0.35-4.5)

Blood test done on 08/07/13:

Serum free T4: 15.9 (11-24)

Serum TSH level: 9.49 (0.35-4.5)

Have been increased from 100mcg of levo to 125mcg and still on iron tablets.

GP also wrote to an endo for advice in regards to the original problem I saw the doctor with to see if it relates and the endo was less than useless, basically ignoring her questions and telling her how to treat hypothyroidism (everything she's already done)

Will also be going for an ultra-sound of my neck because of the pressure/pain I'm experiencing.

Feeling like everything is going well.....for now!!

That's good news! Your GP sounds like she knows more than the endo :)

I hope your improvements continue and that you get some good news from the scan and that, whatever it is, it can be treated easily and quickly :)
