GP and TSH

[Geegee777]

After being parred off by my gp who was stating how tsh works and because my tsh is 0.008, i have too much levothyroxine in my body.He said to reduce my levo to 75mcg.I've currently increased to 125mcg. I'm feeling the best I've been for a long time and really don't want to feel rubbish again.

I've left a voicemsil with my endocrinologist secretary and hoping endo will see sense. However they both are with the tsh route. I'm feeling very tearful and despondent and running out of levo. To make things worse, im going on holiday September and feeling rubbish just wont do.

Don't know what to do next, it's so bloody frustrating. Any advice as always greatly appreciated 🌸

Your GP can not dictate

Your treatment should be in consultation with you

Which brand of Levo are you taking

Are you already self sourcing the extra Levo that you have been taking?

Teva levothyroxine is the brand which works for me, however should I need to self source I'm happy to change providing its lactose free.Spoke to endo secretary, told her I'd been self regulating levo and my gp is not going to prescribe my increased levo but will send email to my endo. I was very angry and frustrated, so I said I will contact my endo. Which I did. Hoping to hear from him/her soon....I'm keeping everything crossed. May need to find t3 friendly nhs endo

May be difficult to self source lactose free

May need to get private prescription

Other lactose free levothyroxine options
