It's taken a long time to get to this part!
Years of waiting for blood results to catch up with symptoms.
TSH 5.2
TGAB +ve
Bunch of classic hypothyroid symptoms. For years. Esp hair-loss.
GP agreed to a trial of levo.
Has diagnosed me on record as "subclinical hypothyroid" but at least acknowledged this was hypothyroidism. GP agreed the symptoms were obvious, the labs confirm this, and acknowledged that with the antibodies that this was only going to end up one way.
So.
25mcg to start. I know that's small.
Repeat blood test in 6 weeks.
I'm actually relieved. Hoping I can reverse some of these symptoms eventually.
Any advice, now I'm finally on the road to treatment?
