Morning guys,
Just been reading through the posts and I have been on levothyroxine for about 12 months now. I wasn't cold (although I am now) or had dry skin, but was always tired, brittle nails and the doc did a blood test and I was borderline at first, then 3 months later they started me on medication. I took 12.5mgs at first, now I'm on 100mgs. its increased every time except the last blood test. I'm waiting on results of my latest test now. I did see a massive difference once the medication kicked in. I had so much more energy. I still suffer with insomnia though.
Lisa - you can ask your GP to do the test, sometimes like in my case it can take 6 months to show up (2 tests). Hope you get it sorted honey!

Thanks hun !
Don't stress about ur gain Lisa. It's only a tiny blip. At least u will know for certain about ur thyroid wen u get it checked. I've had mine checked a few times and it always cums back ok, I'm sure it's not tho! My mum has underactive thyroid and is on the highest dose of tablets possible. I'm sure ive got it 2.
Can't believe the probs ur poor gran is having. Sum people will sink so low! Hope u get it sorted soon Hun xxxx
Well maybe you should go and get it checked again ... From what Emma said, it took more than one blood test to confirm it.
