Get a copy of your blood test results from your surgery, with the ranges (we are entitled by Law) and post on a new question.

I'd include Graves in the heading as those with Graves will respond as most are hypothyroid.

Did you get the earliest possible appointment for your blood test, fasting.

Hi trophygirl i hope your sense of taste and smell returns soon but dont forget you were poorly with a chest infection a little while ago-maybe linked to that aswell.😊 just a thought.

Yes palps and trembling have simmered down abit now. I know how you feel it's like that stage you get when you have a cold and you cant taste or smell anything, its annoying but dont be surprised if endo just brushes it under the carpet-i have my endo app next tuesday then when he is out of the way im goin to start abit of dosage titration myself. Take care.xxx
