I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through. I felt like this too before I was diagnosed hypo and again when I wasn't getting enough medication. These are all symptoms of hypo. It may be you need an increase of medication. Do you have any recent blood test results? Take care, LB

Have look here at progesterone. Works for many of us.

Hair loss might be because ferritin not at top end of range...

Now, plenty there to look at, so blow your nose, wipe your eyes and start reading. You can get better and you can sort it, but don't rely on the docs, get informed and query everything.

And ask anything you like on the forum, someone will have been there, done it before.

mermit, 50mcg is a very small dose. Forget the word 'normal' with regard to blood test results. Get a copy from the surgery,with the ranges (these are important) we are entitled, and post on a new question. Some doctors believe if we are 'within range' we don't need an increase, when in fact we may do as they don't take account of our clinical symptoms.
