I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 9 months ago. I've been taking thyroxine since diagnosis but GP hasn't found the right dose yet - lots of blood tests and changing my prescription in an endless cycle.
Over past 3 months I've been feeling much worse (close to how I felt before I was diagnosed - bone-crushing exhaustion, depression, trouble sleeping, nails that are flaking, muscle aches). I've got an appointment with my GP to discuss my latest blood test results tomorrow but I've also read so much about other things that can also come into play with hypothyroidism, such as B12 etc that I want to ask my GP to look beyond the thyroid blood tests and also test me for some of these other conditions.
My question is, to any other hypothyroidism suffers - what else should I be looking at?
Thank you in advance for any advice :)
