This is the article Lynn Mynott wrote that was in the paper addition of the Mail , but not alas on line.

Had difficulty posting, hope it is legible.

Just about possible to read - by zooming in to fill my screen! (No chance on my phone.)

Thanks.

I just copied the imge and pasted it into an image editor (eg Paint or Irfanview). Then you can zoom in.

Angel I am afraid cut and paste is outside my comfort zone

Right-click image, a menu will appear with an option to copy image. Click that option with left button. Open Paint (or even Word) Right-click and choose Paste. But that's for reading it onscreen, not for posting it to HU.

I've been on levothyroxine100 micro grams for about 6 months now and now my go wants to up it to 200 micro grams doyou think it is to much!! Also hydrocortisone 30 mg daily, I also have a Benin cist on my pirtruetrey gland. Which my Dr said its nothing to worry about..

Jumping straight from 100 micrograms to 200 micrograms would almost always be a bad idea.

Even if you need to end up on 200 micrograms, it is safest to increase slowly, maybe by 25 micrograms every few weeks?

You really don't want to double your dose and then find it is much too much.

I suggest you write a new post and explain a bit more. Posting on old threads often gets missed.

Thankyou helvella will take that on board, it does seem a big jump so quick. All the best. Ld31
