Breast cancer Re: Underactive Thyroid

I went to my GP because I was very unhappy with my health I had put lots of weight on and drag my body about I was taking 225Mg thyroxine after looking at
Thyroid Gland Information on Healthline
I asked to see a endocrinologist who specialises in thyroid disorders, he found although my blood test were coming back satisfactory the reading were at the wrong levels he increased my thyroxine to 250 Mg I go to my doctors next week for a repeat blood test and possible increase the thyroxine again to 275 hopefully then the levels will come together, I was told not to expect any great improvement for 3-6months and then it will be slow.
I am going to ask for a printed read out of the results of my blood test next week and ask for it to be explained also there are web sites/forums I can ask for advise.
