Aha, good point. You can see I've not done much investigating in the last 13 years 😂 Once I got settled on my dose I've just stayed on it. But you're right, it looks like they try to keep you in the lower half of the range (for TSH, anyway, which is all they test me for).dawnybabes said:The levo takes your levels down (just had mine increased as was 2.4 - now at .52 after increase) so not sure increasing it will help ?
I was overactive, but having had my thyroid completely removed I now class as underactive (technically I suppose 'nonactive' would be more accurate 😂) - hence I get free prescriptions.
Either way @KajiKita if you don't feel right, asking for an adjustment is definitely the way to go. Hope they give it to you, and that you feel better soon! Xx3 -
I've found that my resting heart rate goes down when I need my thyroxine increasing. I've got one of those watches otherwise I would never have realised.2

Under active. Been stable for about 8 years, lost a huge amount of weight in the last 2 years - just under 11 stone) so if anything I was expecting to need mine reducing but I’ve needed them putting up.KajiKita said:

I’m absolutely shattered. Really intense day going through a stage 2 assessment for EN 1090 certification (it’s the ticket you need to make things like balconies, seating etc for the construction and buildings industry). We had three minors non conformities - none of them unexpected and we *will* be recommended for certification. 😊 I’m relieved but exhausted …

Okay, so next week is going to be mental in work ... (there's a LOT of pressure building ...) so I am determined to have a positive and restful weekend.
I have a book I'd like to finish today as I want to get to the library to restock tomorrow.
There are various 'eye-hurts' I would like to tidy or clean around the house - no specific list - I plan to waft gently from one to another as they pop up and 'offend' me ...
Temperatures will stop me doing much in the garden but there is just one area under the JM that I would like to clear of weeds and (immediately!) plant up with pretties from the local plant centre (I feel another salvia or two coming on ...
) as sorting that area will have a significant visual impact for limited effort and spend 
If I have a burst of enthusiasm in the cool of the evenings, there is a fair bit of weeding and edging to go at as well ...

Thank you 😊beanielou said:Well done on the certification.
The sun is eye-wateringly hot here! I’m staying out of it, apart from to put washing out but I have managed to clean the loo and the bathroom. So tired though …
