Just finished a telephone appointment wherei pointed out that new dosing guidelines indicate i should be on 150 mc not 100.

She askedme about the guidelines, so i read the relevant bit out

She mentioned the dangers of low TSH and over medicating. i pointed out my low T4 and T3. And that i haddeliberately made myself aware of the signs of overmedication.

She finally asked how i wasfeeling. Rough.

increase agreed!
