hi can you claim any benifits if you have a under active thyriod , ive been placed on levothyroxin plus which doesnt seem to help with tiredness and feeling low, i feel i most probably sleep all day ans stil feel tired , the doctor has also found my vitamin d very low so im also on a high strength of them to try and pick me up , my asthma is out of control im using my blue inhaler almost every time i walk from room to room its driving me up the wall all of it , also having flashes in front of my eyes and the dull aches in my joints the doctor just says it the thyriod and it takes a while for the medication to settle
You are able to claim for free prescriptions but I dont know of anything else. I felt shocking this time last year and was in the same boat. once my thyroxine was increased and my TSH levels came down to 4 from 20 all the symptoms improved. hang in there and keep pestering the dr, you know your body .
thank you for your reply , how long did it take for you to feel an improvement in your health ive been on thyroxine since november
