My serum TSH had decreased this time but I was cold all the time, nothing I did would help me warm up (my husband would be in bed in a tshirt complaining about being too warm, while I had 3 hot water bottles, massive fleecy pyjamas, extra blankets and would still be shivering) so I asked my GP if I could try the medication and luckily she agreed. I've since had my dose increased and it's so nice to be warm, it was making me so miserable being cold all the time.I would have thought if you asked your GP for medication, they should let you try it to see if your symptoms improve?</blockquote>
