I've been taking Thyronorm 75 mg for my thyroid, but my recent thyroid blood test showed my T3 at 86 ngdl, T4 at 6 ngdl, and TSH at 10.65 nIUml. With my TSH levels being high, I'm wondering if I need to switch my medication to 100 mg instead of the 75 mg I've been taking? Also, I'm quite lean and I'm curious if that's because of my thyroid issueshow can I put on some weight?
