Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Hello all, I am the new kid on the block! Wow! what a load of information to be had here, it all looks so overwhelming I don't know where to start! Maybe I should kick off by explaining I was newly diagnosed with hypothyroidism back in February after countless GP visits wondering what on earth was wrong with me. I have been on 25mcg of levothyroxine for 9 months and I've just been told to increase my dose to 50mcg for a 2 months trial. My TSH result has now changed from 6.61 to 0.8 mu/L and the FT4 result has changed from 11 to 13 pmol/L. I thought these new readings were within normal parameters so I cannot understand the need for an increase in dosage. Am I right to be concerned that my body will become reliant on this higher dose and there will be no way back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
