Just got back from the Docs, explained that still feeling exhausted. He initially started me on 25mcg of Levo and has now increased to 50mcg. He said considering the high TPO antibodies, symptoms and recent results, there is no reason to not increase the dose. Finally feel listened to. 😊

50mcg is still a low dose , you need to have blood tests in 6-8 weeks.

Hi Treepie1,

I know you are right, it's just that a Locum G.P at my surgery is the only one who has listened and acted on my symptoms. I am just relieved that the ball is now rolling. He has given me a blood test form and asked for me to be tested again in 3 months.
