GP refuses to increase my Levo and says my levels are fine but I still feel awful
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism during my pregnancy last year (baby is now 12 months old). For the last 6-8 months I've suffered from unusual weight gain, hair loss, fatigue, muscle ache, carpal and cubital tunnel syndrome and just a feeling of generally unwell. I've paid for a couple of private blood tests before and sent them through to the GP (as well as posted on here) but doc says my levels are fine. I am on 50mg of Levothyroxine (I take it in the middle of the night). And bloods are done first thing (no food) with the last dose of levo 24 hours before. These results are the recent NHS blood test results:
TSH 0.59 (range 0.27-4.2)
Free T4 14.1 (range 12-22)
My doc refuses to increase my Levothyroxine dose and says they are in range. When I said they are not optimal though, she says they are?! What can I do??
Any help appreciated (ps. previous private bloods done on 29th Sep, also posted on here, checked my ferritin, Vit D and folate levels etc which seem fine). Thank you x
