Thyroxine problem

Hi there - I’ve been on Thyroxine for around 8 years or so and lately I’ve been feeling really sluggish etc. I decided to up my dose from 75 to 100 and within a week I feel loads better - I reduced it back to 75 just to check and the tiredness came back. My problem is that I am running out of medication as I’m taking more than prescribed. Due to Covid I dont want to go to the doctor for a blood test but I’m guessing she won’t be over happy with me for upping my dose without her permission but it is working! Advice please!
