Hi

Please can you post your latest thyroid bloods, with the ranges.... Did you take your meds before the test? Were you tested in the morning?

Which levo are you on.. Do you always get the same one?

Do you take the levo with water only 30 mins to 1 hour before food?

Any other conditions/meds?

This information will help people to better offer informed support... :)

Ask your surgery for a printout of your results-they cannot refuse and then post them with the ranges. Different labs have different ranges so these are important. That will make it easier for people to comment. As you say you took your meds before your tests then it might be better to see if you can be retested first.
