Started last week on 75mcg up from 50mcg feeling bit more awake but know probably wont last as was same when first started on levothyroxine so making most of it. Still have muscle and joint pain. Unable to sleep so hopeing after next lot of blood tests for B12 and Vit D and menopause can help with that too xxx

I'm glad you're feeling more alert. Other benefits may kick in over the six weeks it will take your body to adapt to the increased dose. Patience. :)

I'm willing to bet that your Vitamin D level is low. That can often be a cause of muscle and joint pain. Post your results here when they come in and someone will advise.
