Could it be that I need to get the medicine used to my system or should I go back to 75

Haven't you already asked this question? Or was it someone else? Anyway, I replied that puffiness and black circles under the eyes are hypo symptoms. And, it's not unheard of for symptoms that we didn't previously have, to appear once we start taking lowish doses of thyroid hormone (levo). It should go once you get onto an optimal dose.

Yes, but as I said, that is not unusual. I developed a whole heap of symptoms when I started levo, but they were hypo symptoms.

I had puffy eye & twitching due to adrenal problem.Check your adrenals/cortisol levels.

Thyroid is king maker of diseases.

I did not get any help from NHS doctors and higher levo dose will not solve problem without knowing root cause.

For low energy, private adrenal saliva test and FT4 ,FT3 blood tests may tell you reason. Than see private endo or post results here.
