I have been taking Thyronorm 12.5 mcg for two months. Due to severe tiredness and sleepy feeling, I repeated TSH and Free T4 tests. TSH is 8.02 (Ref 0.4 to 4.2) and Free T4 is 1.17 (Ref 0.89 to 1.76). Previously, Anti Tg Antibody was high and TPO was normal. I am having tingling in both palms and feet. Fasting blood sugar is 82. I am taking Concor 5 mg for hypertension. Do I require a dose revision or further consultation?

Your TSH is still high (8.02) despite taking Thyronorm 12.5 mcg, suggesting the dose may be too low. Free T4 is in normal range, but the continued tiredness, sleepiness, and tingling need attention. The tingling in hands and feet may be due to Vitamin B12 or nerve issues. With a history of high Anti Tg antibodies, you likely have autoimmune thyroiditis.

Question

I am 23 years old and suffering from hypothyroidism. I often feel cold at normal temperatures, feel lazy, have thinning hair, and tend to forget things. I understand these are symptoms caused by low thyroid hormone production. My report shows a TSH of 456, whereas the normal range should be around 3 to 6. I have consulted a doctor and am taking prescribed medication. My concerns are: Can hypothyroidism be completely cured? Will my hair and cognitive function (thinking/memory) return to normal once it is treated?

Question

Sir, I have tested my T3 level and the report shows 2.28. Please advise what medication I should take. Regards, Chandni Agarwal.

Question

I am on medication with Thyronorm 88 mg, and my recent blood report shows TSH level 14.02. Should I change my dose, and if yes, should I reduce or increase it?
