Hi, thanks for your reply.
Current thyroid hormone levels are just TSH readings (typical NHS labs) but I have previous ones going back as far as November 2011 if you wish to see them again.
TSH in January 2014 - 2.7 (0.27-4.2)
TSH in February 2014 - 3.6 (0.27-4.2)
Looking back I wished I'd never left my previous job but I was unaware of support that was put in place (through my employer) that I could have had. I think reduced hours was one adjustment along with working part-time hours. It was only after I left that I looked into it and found out.
I also have a lot of supplements to take and I'm feeling very overwhelmed by how I have to fit it all in. And I have been told today by a nutritionist that I'm lactose intolerant.
I know you recently had another thread going, but I don't remember your current thyroid hormone levels.
Sometimes it helps to be working, because it can take the mind off how we feel. I never missed any work, even at my most hypo, but that's me. As horrible as I felt, I'm kind of glad I did have to get up and go to work or I'd probably have just stayed in bed all the time.
I think it's very hard, here, in the U.S to get employment support for hypothyroidism, since it's a condition that can be treated.
