How long before improvement should be felt?

[Girlslovescifi]

I’ve been on 100mcg and 75mcg Levo on alternate days, together with a total of 15mcg t3 that I split into 3 doses. Since the cold weather appeared, I’ve been feeling the cold and my hands are cold. Also more lethargic. GP has told me to take 100mcg Levo every day. My question is how long before I should start noticing an improvement? Thanks

6-8 weeks probably

Looking at previous posts, are you still taking omeprazole or Gaviscon……likely not helping with vitamin absorption

I only took for omeprazole for a week and only occasionally take Gaviscon - but I ensure it’s 4 hours either side of doses.

what were your most recent thyroid and vitamin results?

[Girlslovescifi in reply to SlowDragon]

End September t3 & t4 were upper quarter of normal. This was after a 3-wk holiday in Florida - hot! Ferritin from Medicheck was 101 (13-150). Other tests didn’t work, so I have to send in another test.

annoying

Medichecks didn’t send a replacement test kit?

They did but I haven’t done it yet. 😬
