Hello i am back with a question i know i said id post my recent bloods after doctor reduced levo from 125 to 75 mg but i really wanted to give the new dose and doctor a chance to see if lower dose would be better

Any way i have loads more energy my night sweats have disapeared and i feel more like my old self the only problem that has arisen is i have been having severe breast pain for the past two weeks and yesterday i started a period 3 years postmenopausal i am now very confused if the levo was caused lack of periods and not menopause

He said my heart beat was slowing down and referrred me to cardiology i was drained all the time having severe hot flushes and felt dreadful im currently sat at the doctors so hopefully get some answers

You require a decent doctor yours is rubbish change now to get better. The only way I have gotten better is to take a private blood test post the results on here with the ranges and wait for answers, then take the advice given to you

I have seen the doctor he is currently doing a large study on thyroid overmedicated patients he is saying the sighns are positive that my periods are back and having another blood test in two weeks

I have to say he definetely made me feel more positive just not happy ive gone through last 10 years with hot flushes no periods through overmedication this is yet to be proved to be the case but im willing to carry on with his guidance for now as im feeling so much better x
