Is my thyroxine dosage too low

I moved to a new area and a new Doctor 4 years ago and I was on 75mg of thyroxine this has been reduced in stages to 25mg.

The Doctor will not increase it even though it is making me feel awful because she said the blood test results are ok.

what are the blood test results? You have a right to know them.

then you can decide if the doc is right or not.
