September to November on 100

December to yesterday alternate 100/75

At the end of November a new dr wanted me to reduce to 75 but compromised at alternate days . She was sure all my symptoms I had before the last two increases was due to the menopause.

Had a phone call with dr who increased me to 100 in January due to symptoms returning she said after blood test she would be happy for me to return to 100.

After blood test spoke to another dr who wanted me to go to 75, after she read my notes, she said she would prescribe 100. And from help on here I was able to tell her that I am not overactive.

My question is she wants to do bloods in 4 weeks, due to me going on holiday, would this be beneficial to me as my levels will not have altered too much? Or should I wait until I come back but then it will possibly be 12 weeks after increase? Only had a blood test on this level in November.

Thank you

Go on holiday and get your blood test when you return.

On your return make an appointment and if GP says anything to you, just say you couldn't get a test as you couldn't cancel your holiday.
