Got my Tyroxin prescription thanks everyone

I can't share my results yet as the receptionist won't give them to me until the doctor has authorised it. But it was decided to start me on 50mg. Thank to everyone who gave me advice. It was just GP but they listened.

If you register with Patient Access you can see your own bloods - probably before your doctor's had a look at them

it's a bit of a palaver at first ( well it was at my GP - there's a surprise...) but worth it.

Congrats. Make sure they keep an eye on it in case you need a dose adjustment. Blood draw 6-8wks from starting meds is good.
