Many Patients need to have the dose increased. Some take 200mcgs per day . I would ring your Dr and ask for a Blood test to check the level. Dont let him/ her fob you off. I keep Kris's T4 level at the upper end of normal and he is very warm and toasty after being cold for months. Glad everything else is going well for you. Tammy
