I feel fine flower007. Sleepy jn the day and unable to switch if at night but then I've had a lot going on so that's normal. Dry skin but again cant put it down to mt thyroid. My results are as follows with normal ranges in brackets: tsh 0.0.1 (0.4 -4.5), ft4 22.1 (9-25), ft3 5.7 (3.5-7.8). It looks like my tsh is low but the others are perfectly fine :-/

I think that you really have to tell your doctor that you feel well on the dose that you take and you really don't want to lower it. Surely he can't force you. xx
