Constipated had a massive fire up of dermatitis , got test done result showin within range, 3.5 TSH, so sick of this anyone help, iron at 60 which they find acceptable too! Shame this crap is not happening to them, going back Wednesday to explain all this and ask them to up me again, never been referred to a endo should I as about this too? Just feel they are not interested here , got severe lung condition I will need a transplant at some point and seriously so sick of feeling this drained and ill, see a specialist 3 x yearly going to mention all this to him as well, but I do know thryoid crash signs it totally collapsed last time and only after 16 months of my pestering did they do the darn test, just want to feel like I did last year!

You must stand up for yourself - you already know the dose that you need to be on to be healthy and you need to go back to that dose. Research thyroid conditions on the net and become well informed on the subject so that you can be better prepared to talk to doctors. If you get no satisfaction from your current doctor you 'must' find another who will listen to you. 'Always' get a copy of your thyroid tests so that you can understand the numbers and keep track of your condition yourself. Don't let doctors change your medication on TSH test alone - must have free T4 and free T3 as well.
