Hi,
In January they upped my levothyoxrine from 75mcg to 100 based on these results TSH 6.32 Range 0.4 to 4.4 and FT4 0.9 Range 0.8 to 1.7. I just went for a repeat test last week and my new results are TSH 0.37 and FT4 1.1. I am still fatigued, have joint pain, dry skin etc. So although my numbers have gone down, I still don't see much of an improvement. I also have noticed that I am starting to have an anxious/nervous feeling but no rapid heart rate. In 1994 I was diagnosed as hyper (graves disease?) tried tapazole got drug induced lupus and went off. Then thryoid was normal for a few years and then I went hypo and been on hypo meds since. Anyone else experience anything like this? A little more info, I did have some kind of scan of my thryoid when it was hyper and I don't believe there were any nodules or anything. Thanks for your help. Love reading the posts.
