Should I increase?

Okay you guys. It's 11 degrees here and woke up cold. Good morning Everyone and Happy Friday!!!!

Well I've been taking a Nature Thyroid about 7 weeks and two weeks ago I increased a half tablet. I'm suppose be taking three tablets but increasing slowly. So I have been taking one and a half tablets for last two weeks. It seems like my symptoms with shedding and being cold achy were better until yesterday and then bam it's back. Just when I start feel better it comes back. Why is this? Does this mean I need to increase another half now or is it too soon? I go to a new doctor in March as I'm too far for my doctor whom I love. Let's hope I'm happy with him. I will not stop until I am feeling better. I am not there yet but I can feel my body having spouts of being better and then it hits again

My thoughts are that the only real way to find the correct dose is by trial an error. Increasing by half a tablet should be OK, and if your body should tell you if it is OK or not.

I've often wondered if increasing thryroid meds in winter is a sensible idea, or are we just feeling the cold more and assuming that more meds equals a warmer body.
