Hi all, I posted on here a couple of months ago and had some really useful replies - more helpful advice needed now so I am not fobbed off by doctor!

I've been diagnosed hypo, TSH 6, FT 10 (range 10 - 19) etc. I've had all the usual symptoms, horrendous headaches, tiredness, dizzy, hair loss, carpel tunnel etc. After a bit of trial and error as I still felt bad on 50mcg (TSh went down to 1.63, FT4 only went up to 12), I'm now on 100mcg of levo - and actually feel OK! lots more energy, hair (e.g. on arms) all growing back, less headaches, no dizzyness. however I'm only on a short trial and my blood tests have come back - TSH 0.02 , FT4 18. The doctor wants to call me ( I've only had one face to face consultation and about 4 telephone calls so its bit impersonal). I assume that they want to reduce my levo but I don't want to feel ill again. anyone any thoughts about the blood results? am I now hyper? I had a real battle to increase from 50mcg - the doctor said I would definitely get heart problems and practically put the phone down on me!
