Who knows Susie? We are all different and until we have found the stable dose that suits our bodies our whole being is out of kilter. It's a sair fecht!I was all but bed bound for 2 years. Adding a small dose of liothyronine has helped. It has taken another 2 years for my body to adjust and start working again. It will take my metabolism a while longer to adjust still though.

Thank you. I still have to watch how I use my energy and I wouldn't be able to go on holiday yet but I am no longer bed or housebound.Hoping you feel some relief soon.

Hiya. Where in the UK are you? Are you seeing a NHS GP? I can't seem to get a NHS one at all. If you are comfortable please share in private chat. Kind regards
