Went up to 100mcg TSH 1.36 now having hypo symptoms

Still on 100mcg TSH 1.99 , still having severe hypo symptoms

Went up to 112.5 mcg still having severe hypo symptoms

Now on 125 mcg for 5 days ,feeling better in one way but terrible in an other deep seated feeling of low mood ,no energy ,hot cheeks.I get sudden rush of internal jitterness and flushes,and feeling want to sit down.

My Thyroid feels so out of whack and so do I .

Have you had an antibody test TPO. My Tsh was all over the place last 2 years. Then felt very unwell with discomfort in my neck. Asked for TPO test. Reading was high, had Thyroid scan shows severe atrophy. Now about to start Paleo diet as antibodies are sign of auto immune disease which is made worse with Gluten in the diet. Hope you get some answers
