I was put in thyroid meds last year for under active thyroid. I'm on 75mg a day.
I've been getting more and more 'tired' having afternoon naps and generally being shattered. Be trying to loose weight but nothing is shifting it.
I wasn't due a review till Jan but requested a retest from the receptionist (lovely village surgery) and I've been asked to come and see the doctor based on my result. When I phoned up and asked she told me my TSH was 5. Does this mean my meds should be increased ? I've. A new GP and I'm still wary of him (based on what he's told my hubby - but that's a whole other story) so before I go in I'd like to know what I'm asking for !
Should I have my dose increased at 5 or is this still 'OK'
