I had my levothyroxine lowered to 125 at Xmas and now I'm suffering usual fatigue, constipation, brain fog, headaches, weight gain and break through bleeding with my monthlys. I'm also taking b12 shots. I'm going to back to the doctors next week but my worry is that the doctor will treats the results and not my symptoms. What can I do?...

Do you have a copy of your latest blood test results, with the ranges?
I know how you feel I went back and 'discussed' the reduction in my thyroxine but all I got was a lecture on my TSH 'being within range' and that being over medicated will lead to calcium depletion and osteoporosis in the future. I want a normal life now! So having gained information and confidence from Thyroid UK I decided to purchase Armour and have been taking them for 4 days.
If you are worried about how your results are going to be interpreted,photo copy any relevant literature concerning your doubts and take them with you to the gp.When he dismisses you as an upstart go and see the practice manager.
