I'd leave it another week before increasing. It is clinical symptom i.e. coldness. Did you take your temperature? It is usually low when hypo and can slowly increase when on hormones but sometimes doesn't come back to what used to be 'normal' for us but it still rises a little.

Hi mark, I've noticed colder feet as well which is new.

My cold feet were before diagnosed and still have them but also on beta blockers since hypo and told they also can cause cold feet. Its strange that my socks are cold from my feet and however thick are useless at warming.

its horrible having cold feet in warm weather lol ive noticed if i take my socks and shoes of my feet feel warmer them maybe a circulation problem?

Always had circulation problems with hands and feet but since developed hypo its much worse.
