Had telephone consultation with my GP this morning and told her I'm not happy about my TSH going from 1.9 to .5.1 in a month and all she said was that my TSH is within range and that thyroid levels fluctuate, so no increase in levo unless my TSH is over range despite the fact I feel so weak,no energy, feel like I'm actually dying no exaggeration, but I genuinely don't think she actually gives a dahm,so I'm stuck feeling dreadful without a leg to stand on.

Did you use the information that SlowDragon gave you in reply to your previous post, last one in the thread:

I genuinely don't think they care no matter how ill I feel and my mental health is the worst it's been for a long time and I'm so depressed but like,I say, as long as (I'm( in range) that's all they're bothered about, not interested in my symptoms or how I'm actually feeling, it makes me feel like there's no hope of me actually feeling better ever !!!

So sorry for how you’re feeling. It’s really hard to have to manage your doctor when you’re feeling poorly and you just want them to make you better. But it is possible to get through this, one step at a time.

SlowDragon gave you some excellent advice. Do you know how to get back to it?

Start at the top, just a couple of lines a day….

The guidance they should be following and are not…

some tests they should be doing and are not.

Tackle GP on one thing at a time. Good luck.
