Hi I was hoping someone could shed light on this. I've had hashimotos for nearly 20 years and after initially taking thyroxine went onto armour thyroid. My levels have been pretty much stable ever since. I changed to thyroid s a few years ago when armour became difficult to get. Sometimes when I run out of thyroid s I've taken thyroxine. Last winter my gp told me I was overmedicated as my tsh was suppressed so I lowered my dose to 150 mcg. In the summer I discovered my tsh was 7 so I upped my dose back to 200 mcg, then started taking thyroid s again and took 2 grains, like I've always taken. I've just had my results back again and my tsh is now 11!! I don't know how much to take now. Can we suddenly start needing more medication after years of having this disease?
I've not noticed any more symptoms as I also have ME and have never been able to separate the symptoms- apart from I've gained weight and have been unable to lose any.
Sorry about the long complicated post!
Thanks, nicola
