I hope it does Clutter, that's pretty low!  are any of your medics concerned about it?  I always found that nobody was concerned about my weight when I was thinner than a stick 

[Clutter]

Endocrinologist commented on it last week but just asked whether I've always been thin, which I have. I'm not eating much because I don't have much appetite.

Some people (not me) do lose weight when hypo due to a lack of appetite. are your bloods showing you need to decrease your dose?

[Clutter]

I've been overmedicated all along because they want to keep the TSH very low. It has just been reduced to 125mcg.

I enjoy flavoured milk drinks so lots of milk & bananas & soups among the shopping arriving tomorrow. Oh & probiotic drinks because I've been taking antibiotics for a urine infection.

Bloods & urine sample due Monday to check for diabetes, blood sugars, liver & kidneys.

I'm beginning to think NHS are stealing my blood as they seem to want so much of it

Hope the reduction helps you a bit! I don't feel well unless my TSH is very low, which can cause a few raised eyebrows with certain Docs.

I'm due yearly bloods next month, so am starting to reduce my dose slightly in readiness!

Disclaimer - I'm not suggesting that anyone else messes about with any of their meds!

We want to steal your blood! *in Dracula voice*

How about aqua aerobics classes , a gentle one, the water takes the weight of your body , even just bobbing in the water may help

Yes, I have already thought of this. I love swimming and being in the water. When i lived in Sydney our apartment block had its own pool and i swam nearly everyday. Did wonders keeping me fit along with my postie round in the mornings.
I did think it would be impossible now i am disabled because i cannot get up or down the steps into the pool, but my dughter took the kids swimming last week and discovered they have a special hoist to lower disabled people in and out which made me very excited! Once i get the car I shall go at least a couple of times a week. Might even see if they have any aquarobics classes they could adapt to my problems.
