im so hypo at the moment and air hunger is at its worse (main hypo sign used to go with a small increase)

Hi Mandy72,

When you can't increase your t3 dose it is due to intolerance caused by one of two things generally. Low cortisol and/or low iron. Have you had any of these things tested? I will send you a pm with a link to follow these up.
