Your mothers thyroid report shows severe hypothyroidism. TSH is very high, and T3/T4 are low. She needs to start Levothyroxine (Thyronorm/Eltroxin), usually 25 to 50 mcg once daily, on an empty stomach, 30 minutes before breakfast. However, because of her age and multiple myeloma treatment, the dose should be started low and adjusted slowly by her doctor. Repeat TSH after 6 to 8 weeks to monitor response.

I have attached my recent thyroid blood test report. I am currently taking Thyronorm 100 mcg daily. Based on my report, could you please advise if my dosage should be adjusted?

I had a total thyroidectomy surgery due to papillary thyroid carcinoma. It has now been almost 9 years. My recent test results are thyroglobulin less than 0.040 ng/ml, TgAB less than 10 IU/ml, free T4 20.82 pmol/L, and TSH 3.60. Is my report okay? I am currently taking 125 mcg Thyronorm. Do I need to increase the dose? Is my TSH high currently?
