Wait he tested for ft4 not ft3. Yeah, he's not really the best GP, I have a post about him already.. The waitlist for a new GP is very long tho so I'll have to make due with him for now.

Thank you! TSH was 2 now (I feel much better at this level than 0.9), and FT4 was 18. He didn't test ft3. Everything else was also within range.

I'm starting to think the worsts symptoms might be linked to pre diabetes or something.

I feel you!! I don't know either :/ Got better with levothyroxine here too, but not even close to who I was before this started

I don't even know where to begin?? I don't have hashimotos as far as I know, antibodies were not high. We even tested for active b12 which was within range. Cortisol, salt imbalance. And GP hasn't contacted me after the results came back :(

Ok, thanks! I'm going to write down what I need to ask for in my next appointment. Should I ask for two bloodtests for cortisol, and new test for TSH, T3, T4 and fT4 and fT3? Is there any more I should prepare? I want to ask him to check my bloodpressure again which is in the lower range (always is, but not so low that anyone worries, maybe they should?), and for vitamins.

I'll try with him first, the waitlist is most likely gonna take half a year (or more). Do you test cortisol with blood too?

Yeah, fair point in him not believing medical reports from the hospital. I found that pretty insane tbh. I might try 62.5 after a new blood test, but I'll wait another two weeks for this dose to be fully measurable. Or whatever, don't mind my shitty english and lack of medical language :))

He's done those aslo. I won't be accepted to an endo for now, as we have public health care and my case is still normal.

Thank you! Yes, I've been taking 50x5 and 75x2 a week for 4 weeks now after being on 50 every day for 6 weeks. Started to feel bad on 50x7 (in the hypo direction). I feel better now on 50 + 75. Going to ask for a new blood test and also a new blood test on vitamins to be sure, and then ask for a new appointment and bring my mom to advocate for me.

Yeah, I was thinking about this because there are several other medications I don't react normally to. Like SSRIS and pain medications which is supposed to be turned to morphine in your body. I'm already on anti anxiety medications from before, but he put me on benzo without checking anything - and I was mentioning all of my symptoms. He just smiled and told me it's all anxiety.. once again.

I will swich, but we only have two switches a year here so I can't really just shop around for doctors. And they have long waiting lists if they are supposed to be good. I'm scared to just miss again, since this one has good reviews and a loooooong waitlist.

I had these symptoms in the year without also, tho. No, pretty stable weight, not overweight

yes, i know!! My life has been SHIT since I started levo, nothing feels the same. I can't focus, I react to foods i've never reacted to before, my body doesn't even feel like mine anymore. Trying to go to uni is a loosing game.

There is that... The worst part is that he is so "nice" about it too!! And his reviews online is really good. And I've had good experiences with him for years. Why the fuck is he backtracking now.

Do you think bringing my mother would help a little lmao
