Hi all, just got back from seeing GP.
He said my levels were 'ok' and some GPs wouldn't have put me on thyroxine to start with"
I told him I felt really unwell,depressed,low mood etc etc. I went in armed with a load of questions after going on the thyroid uk website( thank you to all who recommended it)
I asked GP what my levels should be and he said, "it's hard to say"
He knows about my history of OCD depression & anxiety and he said, "it could be your thyroid or depression"
I then asked if increasing the dose of thyroxine would do me any harm and he said "No" so he has increased it from 25mcg to 50mcg. He told me to take my omeprazole 2 hours after taking thyroxine as it can stop absorption. He only said this after I had asked him about,it thanks again to thyroid uk.
I told him I just want to feel well again and he said did I feel well on the 25mcg thyroxine and I told him that it was the longest I had felt well physically and mentally in a long time and then symptoms started coming back.
He was 'ok'
I sort of expected everything he said,again because of reading other peoples experiences and I felt I had to push a bit to get the extra thyroxine. He said to me he was wondering if it was psychological " but w'ell see how you get on with the increase".
I sent my test results to thyroid uk and the administrator came straight back to me and said my T3 was low but GP said 'ok'. Someone else on TUK said my iron was low but again GP said 'ok'
I just don't want to feel 'ok' I want to feel good again.
Sorry for long post and thank you ladies for your support.
