As far as I'm aware I've only had my tsh tested and seem ok on 200mg of thyroxine. I'd love to reduce it. It was increased when I was pregnant 3yrs ago. So maybe they did check it more. Not sure.Sorry, no explanation of why things changed. I think it was a combination of D3 supplementation and weight loss, but I've no medical evidence to back that up. Hypothyroid is an area of health that frankly confuses me. I also never had medication for it and never had blood tests beyond TSH - apparently only endocrinologists order those kind of tests here.
Seeing my GP on tuesday so I'll quiz him. I'm not too concerned as I don't feel fidgetty but my sleep can be broken every night. Which I think can be symptoms of the opposite (overactive). Although i'm led to believe it comes with weightloss.
I'm happy on 200mgs but if I lose weight I'll see gp for advice. He's one of the best gps I've had.
