Thanks for your comments. I will be asking my GP about adjusting my Levothyroxine. My SIL had readings just at the bottom of the normal range and her GP didn't feel the need to make adjustments. But she has worked with doctors most of her adult life and was quite insistent that her dose of Levothyroxine should be increased. The GP complied and now she is feeling much less tired than she has done for many months.
My personal experience is if you are in range, they can get really dogmatic.
Before blood tests were so developed doctors used to be guided by what information that had, but also how the patient felt.
Unless you are on mahoosive doses, an extra 25mcgr or even 12.5 if they won't go 25 isn't likely to cause issues. I mean if you start with palpitations or become agitated you can always pare back again.
Anyway, that's just my 2p worth.
