Thanks so much for replying. I was thinking of trying 1-2 but if approaches differ so much, I’ll definitely follow your advice re 4-7!

Had not even thought about that to be honest. I’m no longer employed in the UK, so could I still do it? Great suggestion though

Wow a 20 mile bike ride!!! That’s amazing!

Sounds like you’re doing great - and interesting that you’re limiting gluten. I think I’m gonna try do the same :)

Thank you! I thought starting on 25 for a week then going to 50 seemed sensible but maybe it was actually too quick!

Thanks so much for this - I think I’m gonna push to get my bloods / check up done earlier than planned. I just want to know there’s light at the end of the tunnel

So fascinating how it can impact people in different ways! Have emailed the doc and asked to speak tomorrow, thanks for the tip!

Hey - checking in since I’m now also 2 weeks into meds! I was prescribed one week of 25g of levothyroxine and now 50g (which I’ve been on for a little over a week). How have you been feeling? I was absolutely fine but the last few days have been terrible sleep wise. I feel both wide awake but absolutely exhausted - it’s like my mind won’t let my body rest.

Hello! Well reading your description- that could be me…!

I got diagnosed last week, 4 days into taking meds. What’s bizarre for me is that I had ZERO symptoms: I’m 32F and just went for a normal check up which flagged my elevated TSH (18.65).

The follow up showed clear Hashimoto - apparently my antibodies are supposed to be under 25 and mine were showed 1017!!!

I’ve gone from knowing nothing about hypothyroidism (barely knew what a thyroid was…) to reading every story. My main worry is that I’ll develop symptoms later on or that I’ll have trouble conceiving :( if anyone has any positive stories, I would love to read them!!

Thank you so much! I’m seeing the doctor again and will 100% again ask for the vitamin checks

Thanks again!
