here are my blood results from 2015 (when I felt quite well) to now, I feel I am not getting any better although have tried everything I can.

I am on nature throid at the moment (Armour was great but then seemed to work less well and cost an arm and a leg)

Any help regarding how my bloods look would be great, my GP is very unhappy I am on natural thyroxine and does not discuss with me much about my bloods just that the tsh is too low.

Because blood tests for thyroid hormones were introduced along with levothyroxine (T4) alone, when we take NDT blood tests cannot be compared as it consists of T4, T3, T2, T1 and calcitonin.

The best way to judge if your dose is optimum is 'how we feel' on a dose.

The following doctor only used a blood test for the initital diagnosis and thereafter it was how the symptoms were relieved and patient slowly felt much better.

I shall give you some links from the same doctor (now deceased) who was also an Adviser to TUK. Copy and paste the tinyurls. Read Chapter 7 first.
