Hi Louise

I was initially diagnosed as mildly hyperthyroid in April 2015

FT4 22.4

TSH 0.05

In May 2015 my levels had fallen to

TSH 2.99

FT4 11.6

TPO & Thyroglobulin antibody positive

TSH Receptor antibody negative

In June 2015 my levels were

FT4 10.8

TSH 44

My GP started me on Levothyroxine 100mcg I was feeling really quite ill exhausted no energy hot then shivery sleeping after 4pm right through but waking still exhausted I was finding daily activities very difficult and my part time job a struggle.

In October 2 I saw my endo levels then

TSH 3.82

FT4 18.1

FT3 4 .2

His advice was to remain on Levo at 100mcg until January get bloods done then reduce to 75 mcg and get more bloods before returning to him.

I am still very tired no energy my arms and legs ache and I have gained about 12 lbs in weight despite a healthy gluten free diet and supplements from my holistic doctor

I have read that some do much better on NDT and wonder if I should try it

Amy advice much appreciated
