Unwell

[sweera]

Can someone please help me. I have got under active thyroid, and I take thyroxine. Last few weeks I had colds and cough continuously, and I feel very tired and sleepy. I can't see my GP for 2 weeks.

Please help

It's more than likely that your dose is too low if you're having all those symptoms. How much are you taking?

Do you happen to have the results of your last blood test? If so, please post them in a new question. It's impossible to say much withoutknowing those results. If you haven't got them, then ring the surgery and ask for a print-out - it's your legal right to have one.

Apart from that, it's difficult to suggest anything, except plenty of fluids, tons of vit C, and lots of rest. Sorry.

Thanks for your reply. I am taking 100micrograms Levothyroxine. And I am going for a blood test tomorrow morning.

Well, make sure you Don't take your Levo for 24 hours before the test, won't you. And Don't have breakfast - hopefully the test is early morning...

100 mcg isn't an enormous dose, so you probably need an increase.
