Hi, I'm hoping someone on here can help me with my problems.

I was diagnosed hypothyroid last year and my GP has put me on some meds but I don't think they are working as I still feel very bad.

Also I have something known as antibodies?

Any ideas what is going on?

Thank you x

You need to get a print out of your test results, with ranges. Post them here and then people will help you by commenting on what they mean and whether or not you seem to be taking enough medication. What are your current symptoms?

you also need to state exactly what and dosages of medications you are currently taking so that the good people on this site can give you their personal opinion and advise you from their own experiences .....alan xx

Welcome Jo85

Have a good look around this support site and also the main TUK site here.... J :D

(you need to get to an optimal hormone replacement to suit you, if you have antibodies - I had raised TPO Ab - it just means it's an autoimmune Thyroid problem, which most of us have)

Not what you're looking for?
