View allI've been on Thyronorm 25 mcg for the past two years, but I recently had a couple of lab tests. The first one was 20 days ago, and I hadn't taken my morning dose thenit showed a level of 4.8. Yesterday, I took the test after having my morning dose, and the level was 2.6. Do you think I should consider reducing my dosage?
Based on the lab results, it appears that your thyroid levels have improved after taking your morning dose. The lower value (2.6) suggests that the current dosage may be appropriate. However, I recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider to determine if a dosage adjustment is necessary, as they can assess your overall health and treatment response more accurately.

I've noticed my breast size is really small, measuring at just 30 with a small cup size. I'm curious if there are any medications that can help increase them, as I'm really not keen on going for surgery. What options do I have?
