Post from 2 months ago showed you were very hypo with TSH of 12

Levothyroxine dose was increased by 25mcg

Bloods should be retested 6-8 weeks after each dose increase

Have you had thyroid levels retested?

Ask GP to test zinc and selenium levels

The aim when taking thyroid hormone replacements (usually levothyroxine) is to have a TSH of 1 or lower and Free T4 and Free T3 towards the upper part of the ranges. The latter two are rarely tested.

Thank you for sharing this information. It is especially relevant to me because I very often take various dietary supplements in order to keep my figure and my body in shape. I usually prefer dietary supplements from one manufacturer because I don't want to change it for any other one. I am confident that healthcanal.com/supplements... is the right one for me and will not cause any side effects. You have to be careful in this matter because if the pills are not right for you, you risk hurting yourself. Choose a quality product
