There can be so much confusion, heresay on the internet, worry, difficulty getting treatment or the correct dose levels. There are so many posts I feel if they were collected together in one place it would be helpful.
There is ongoing research on thyroid issues which could be shared.
E.g. TEVA (which was withdrawn in 2011/12 due to production issues and strength issues) are now back in the market with a 12.5 strength which could be the dose tweak you need to feel better. They also have different fillers too. Brands have the potential to be slightly different, though monitoring is supposed to be more rigorous since the TEVA issue. ^

I know hypothyroidism is supposed to be a 'mn cliche' but I think this detracts from genuine advice and so many illnesses are a diagnosis of exclusion, of which it is a valid thing to exclude given it's more common in post partum women and menopausal women.
There's also a MH aspect; I have mild trauma as I developed the condition when young and was frequently dismissed/ struggled to get levels right for many years and my social experiences and education were affected by something no one else had, pre internet.
