Morning folks , need a bit of advice .

Endo increased my Levo an extra 25mcg in September. This is in addition to the 20mcg of T3 which took me months to tolerate.

I was beginning to see some light at the end of the tunnel and feel I was getting somewhere .

Unfortunately my G.P took fright at my 0.05 Tsh and told me to reduce 25 Levo .

Is it in my imagination that I very quickly felt the miss of this , and today after only three weeks on the reduced dose , all the symptoms have returned. The neck and shoulder pain , the tiredness , the feeling cold Etc.

Today I feel dreadful .

She has me booked in for a blood test on 5th Feb , and an appointment with her on the 11th .

Do I carry on with the reduced dose or take 125 that I was on and not mention it ?

Thank you

That doctor is totally wrong to decrease your dose based on that TSH. I would go by how you feel and My TSH is barely detectable and my endo is happy with that. You mention an Endo yourself so I don't see why your GP thinks they can override what your Endo has prescribed! I would increase your dose and tell them exactly why! It's your body after all and your Endo is the expert - not the GP! I hope you feel better soon x

Kel8 thank you for your speedy reply .

I am sure you are right , I feel that I have been " set back " months .

NEVER let any doctor reduce your meds based on blood tests alone. Doctors have their own agenda these days and it isn't helping people to feel well!!

Thank you Glynisrose

I really should have known this , but this G.P is quite forceful .

I am back on 125mcg as from yesterday and hopefully they will kick in soon!
