Hi, I recently posted about my endocrinologist increasing my dose of levothyroxine to 150mcg at 137.5mcg my results were as in the photo. I can’t test for another 4.5 weeks but just wondering if a higher dose can make hypo symptoms worse my muscle and joint pain seems to have got worse not improve like it usually does with a dose increase? Thanks for any advice!
