Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

No your Thyroid levels are not regulated don't switch in such manner that might lead to serious problems visit Endocrinologist for appropriate treatment.

Question 2

I'm feeling a bit confused and worried about my thyroid levels. I had a TSH level of 23, but my free T3 and T4 were normal. So, I decided to try the B56 homeopathy drops. At around the fourth month, my TSH improved to 8.4, but after finishing eight months, it's back up to 23. I'm just wondering why it would increase again and if maybe I should consider a different treatment?
