Hi my tsh 2 months ago was 0.1doc very pleased and so was I but now back at the docs with swollen feet and ankles got a liver test says it was a bit high need to do another one in 2 weeks reading up on levothyroxin it says this could be the cause doc says it could be my meds so what happens now if levo is causing this has anyone had this problem and if it was the levo I'd there another drug that is safe amd won't damage my liver

Angelina50, Liothyronine (T3) is the only licensed alternative to Levothyroxine in the UK but NDT (Armour, NatureThroid, WP and Erfa) can be prescribed on a named patient basis.

I also had my thyroid test results back reading 0.01. I am stressing out amx I am severely weak. I'm irritated at my doctor cause I have rode hos butt about not testing me once every 6 months. I have had 2 tests in the last 3 years!!! Unexceptable. Time to chanve doctors. I have struggled with hypothyroidism for almost 26 years and this has never happened.
