If on NDT you can increase by 1/4 tablet every two weeks until symptom-free. Always take a check of pulse/temp especially if you feel too hot etc but you will probably find neither has risen too much. If they have risen, drop back to previous dose.

On NDT blood tests cannot correspond as they were introdocued for T4 alone so because NDT has T4, T3, T2, T1 and calcitonin it is always how 'we feel' which is the guide. Due to your high TSH you aren't on a sufficient dose yet.
