Symptoms whilst taking medication

[Guest guest]

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease/Hypothyroidism about 12 years ago and

have been taking Levothyroxine ever since. After a routine blood test in

November 2010 I was advised to up my dosage to 150mcg. I then had a follow up

blood test in January and told to go back to 100mcg.

Since having my second child 7 years ago I have felt generally tired, have

suffered from repeated infections, I am constipated, suffer from hair loss and

itchy skin. I have seen various Dr's to discuss these symptoms. My thyroid is

checked and told to be normal. I have given up asking for blood tests but when

this routine test came back with a need to change my dosage I thought that at

last my concerns about these persistent symptoms would be taken seriously.

However, in discussing these resent results with yet another Dr I was told that

because I was being treated for an under active thyroid I shouldn't be

experiencing any symptoms and that anything I was feeling must be related to

something else.

Could someone please advise me? Is this true? Is it just my ignorance that makes

me think that changes in my thyroid levels will effect how I feel and

accompanying symptoms?
