[QUOTE="Dogbutler, post: 632077, member: 92939"] Hi all Just a thought, but I saw my endo a few weeks ago and he increased my levothyroxine from 100 to 125mcg a day. When I saw my GP he was very dismissive until he read the letter from the endo which included blood test results. According to the specialist, T4 was 12.6. My GP then said that he used a different lab and that lab had scored my T4 as 16.7. He went on to say that different labs use different scales when testing blood - now is it me, or is that ridiculous? How can we expect to manage our medical conditions if no one sings from the same hymn sheet! The only suggestion I have, is to do what your body tells you and nag until you get what you need. When I told the endo that my skin is so dry, my husband calls me lizard legs he laughed and said we'd better get that sorted out. [/QUOTE]
