When did you raise dose Fion, and can you post recent thyroid results?

Fion, I think it's possible that your TSH may still be high and you may need a further increase in dose. Can you get thyroid bloods done in 2 or 3 weeks to check? If you need a dose increase try persuading your doctor to increase T3 to 30mcg rather than raising T4 again. I need T3 to calm adverse effects I get from T4 as well as to keep FT3 good.
