So I have been on Levo 50mcg since end of Aug, I was prescribed this following a private consultation with Harpal Clinic along with LDN.
My other posts have my previous results in.
I went to my GP end of Sept and explained the situation to her - she said she may prescribe me Levo on the NHS provided I supply a copy of the consultation from Harpal which I have now done and also have some more Thyroid blood tests. So I have been to pick the results up from my tests today these are: (Please not these were morning tests although I didn't Fast as I wanted them to have improved)
TSH 3.2miu/l (0.20-4.00)
FreeT4 17.9pmol/L (10.0-20.0)
TPO 95iu/mL (<100)
So my TSH hasn't massively come down (last NHS result was 4.3) My T4 has gone up from 13.8 which I guess is good and my TPO has stayed about the same.
I have another appointment with the GP on the 5th Dec and am hoping they will now prescribe me Levo on the NHS - I cant afford to keep paying privately as I am already paying for Ramipril and Sertraline on top of the Levo and LDN!!
I'm just after some advice on to how next to proceed and if any of you experts see anything in my recent results

On Levothyroxine the aim is to increase the dose slowly in 25mcg steps upwards until TSH is under 2. FT4 in top third of range and FT3 at least half way in range
So you are in need of dose increase in Levothyroxine
Official NHS guidelines saying TSH should be between 0.2 and 2.0 when on Levothyroxine
(Many of us need TSH nearer 0.2 than 2.0 to feel well)
