Had enough now .... its time to bite the bullet and see a private endocrinologist.

My latest bloods are -

Tsh - 3.45 ( 0.35-5.50)

T4 - 12.60 (7.86-14.41)

Doc says I'm in range , so don't change ... still taking 75mcg levothyroxine.

I was hoping this last test would show I was out of range .... I've been suffering with heat sensitivity/ head pressure/ light headiness and extreme fatigue!!

They never seem to take my side effects into consideration when the result is within range.

Other results...

I keep telling them about the symptoms I'm getting , they keep saying I'm in range .... even when I had nhs endocrinologist he basically said try different brand or go on statins.

If anyone can recommend a private endocrinologist North West way I would really appreciate it. Could you private message please.

Thanks 😊

I'd also recommend to keep trying wth your GP to get a dose increase which you certainly need. Try different doctors, go armed with information from here about keeping TSH lower:

Do start a new post to discuss latest vitamin results and what you are supplementing with.

You are advised to get full thyroid profile bloods done to include TSH, FT4 & FT3 + vitamins ferritin, folate, B12 & D3 and antibodies before your appointment to avoid wasting your first visit.
