Well my year hasnt been great I have spent the first 10 days either taking my son up hospital due to suspicous rashes or being flashed by speed cameras or breaking mobile phones. However despite all this I refuse to give up and think of them as minor set backs in the grand scheme of things!
The B12 tablets dont seem to of made much of a difference apart from my weight has stabilised. My fatigue is still there, so I have decided to increase my Thyroxine from 250mcg to 300mcg. So far so good still early days though.
This year 2009 is going to my year Im going to make myself happy!
The best thing is there is hope, without it we have nothing. So wooo Im gonna be happy!! Positive thinking and all that!! lol
Hope your 2009 has started better than mine!
Be well

You went up from 250mcg to 300mcg in one go ? Do you have suicidal tendancies ?
You have to do these things slowly, not more that 30mcg at a time. Otherwise it puts a tremendous strain on your body - especially your heart.
Are you self-treating ? If so I think you need to study this a bit more carefully otherwise you can do yourself a lot of harm.
And no, I'm not a doctor scared of selftreating because it dimishes my monopoly of power, I'm a fellow selftreating sufferer who wishes you well.
I think the UK must be the worst places to be hypo - not there are any good places, but the UK just gets worse and worse. I am in France, which has its own problems, but at least we aren't afflicted with the National Health !
