Hi all, I've still had no feedback from either the GP or the specialist about how much I need to increase my thyroid medication so I can go back to my HRT.
Feeling very hypothyroid still despite discontinuing my HRT. Weakness in hands and elbow joints, feeling very heavy and tired all the time, head burning again with next day hair loss.
I had forgotten how bad my hands were before I went onto levothyroxine, I couldn't open bottles or lids etc as hands were so weak well that's back, feels like I'm not on any thyroid replacement.
Please if anyone can guide me to what I should do, or if they have found a version of HRT that sits well with thyroid replacement I would be grateful if you could share your experiences.

I can't speak for the HRT side of things, but suspect you may need to be more pro-active (especially these days) - and badger your GP and endo yourself rather than wait for them to come to you. What dose of levo are you currently on? Do you have any recent blood tests to share so that the lovely people here can make suggestions about dose increasing for you to take to the docs?
