What dosage of Thyronorm do you think I should take if my TSH levels are at 11.5? Should I stick to 50mcg or bump it up to 100mcg? I've been on 50mcg for about 16 years, but I've recently picked up a lot of physical activity and started a healthier diet. I stopped taking my meds for about three weeks and that's when my TSH came out high. What do you suggest I do now?

Given your TSH level of 11.5 and your history of taking 50 mcg of Thyronorm for 16 years, its important to consult with your doctor. Generally, they may recommend returning to your previous dosage (50 mcg), but they might adjust it based on how your body responds to training and dietary changes. Regular monitoring is key.
