Hello Zara,

I hope you are just using this forum to search/ research for information on, and feel OK.

If you don't it is worth posting any test results you have and the ranges so people can help you.

What treatment do you take to overcome the lack of thyroid and other hormones? Do you feel well? (I know that is a silly question - you wouldn't be here if you felt well. But I thought I ought to check!)

Assuming that you have joined the forum because of health issues, could you tell us what they are?

Hoya.. Levo 75mg, not on any other hormone one but others are aspirin, citilapram, Omeprazole, vitamin D, strong pain relief, I stopped taking my Levo due to it making me feel so ill.. But had to re start it recently as doc demanded I do.. And now feel ill again.. Thank you for your kind message.. No question is a silly question in my eyes 😃.. Kind regards Zara
