I'm a bit worried about my thyroid situation. I've been on Electroxin, taking 25 mcg and 50 mcg on alternate days, along with some homeopathic treatment. Recently, my blood test came back with a TSH level of 8.3, but my T3 and T4 levels are normal at 89 ngdl and 7.6 mgdl. I've had thyroid issues for the past 6 years and, initially, I was on 100 mcg of Electroxin. Over the past year, as I began homeo treatments, my doctor gradually reduced the dosage to where it is now. Should I be concerned about the TSH level, and what steps should I take next?

irrelevant use of medicine is very dangerous so stop use of quick relief medicines
