You're not being well looked after. Thyroid tests should have been done 6-8 weeks after raising dose to check you were responding to the dose increase.Some thyCa patients are advised to suppress TSH to avoid cancer recurrence.
It would be helpful if your endo prescribed Liothyronine in addition to 175mcg Levothyroxine in order to raise your FT3. It is low FT3 which causes hypothyroid symptoms.
The most common cause of Levothyroxine malabsorption is coeliac disease due to gluten intolerance. Your GP or endo should order tissue transglutamine blood test to rule out coeliac. If coeliac is the culprit absorption of Levothyroxine will improve once gluten is 100% eliminated from your diet.
Was dx with Pbc (primary billary chirosses of liver)..Poor spelling😩...Jun 2016 & said about dairy intolerance being poor along with wheat..tested for celiac and came bck all clear/normal Range .
Might bring up the addition al t3 meds to see if that helps when I see my endocrine guy ** thanks for that ..just feel like I'm talking to a brick wall and taken that I'm making up all my symptoms**
I think you should have thyroid testing followed up in June/July and there should have been investigation into why you aren't absorbing Levothyroxine back in the summer.
With the liver dc and spine injection s for unstable spine just didn't have the fight in me to chase these drs up as at the time felt like I wasn't being listened to..Seeing my original surgeon who did my thyroid op so I shall be asking b4 that appt for another blood test .
