Success!

Went back after my second blood tests ready to argue to be treated and Doc sat me down and immediately said 'right we need to get you on some medication, I think you've probably had enough of feeling shitty!' I nearly cried! So today is day 2 of Levothyroxine, low dose 25mg, and will increase in 4 weeks, then 4 weeks after that. :D Thanks to answers of my previous queries on here and information on the site I was able to have a really informed discussion with the Doc re levels and treatment etc. Glad this valuable resource is here for us all. :D :D :D
