Very high TSH suggests under treatment. Dose likely needs to be increased to 75 mcg or higher. Please repeat TSH in 6 weeks after dose escalation.

Hello doctor, I had my full medical tests on 08 Aug. Everything was normal except for the TSH test, which was high at 9.56 mIU/L. I have attached my TSH test report for your reference. Could you please suggest what medications and precautions should be taken to bring it back to normal? I need to repeat my medical tests in 1 to 1.5 months, so I would like this issue to be addressed by then. Any suggestions, consultations, or prescriptions would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

I have full joint pain in my elbows, knees, shoulders, and other joints. At night, I am not able to sleep due to the pain. I feel very tired and sometimes have fever. My RA test report is positive. I also have a thyroid TSH level of 7.54.

Hello doctor my wife is 7 weeks pregnant and a bit worried. Her blood report shows TSH 4.83 and free T4 12.16. TSH seems a bit high and free T4 is normal. I have attached the blood report. Are there any serious issues and does this require any treatment?
