Hi My TSH level has been reported to 21.66. It has been between 18 to 21 till now. I was taking Homeopathy earlier but now have stopped. My Doc has suggested to take Thyronorm 50mcg. My weight although high (90 kg) but not increasing. I am 42 yrs. Please suggest. Thanks ## You should take the medication prescribed by your doctor. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, weight changes, mood swings, and hair loss. Are you on any other medications?

Dear Forum members, Yesterday I havechecked my TSH level in the blod and found to be around 9.54μIU/L. My age is 33 years now. As per my understanding increasing TSH levels decreases the T3 and T4 levels. I have also given bllod samples for estimation of T3 & T4 levels in the blood. could anyone suggest me what type of medication shall I take to bring these levels to normal stage and diet and any nutritional supplements. As on date I didnt observed any symptoms & problems in my body ## I am 53 years. My TSH level is 12. However T3 & T4 are normal. What kind of medication should I take. ## High TSH levels (if your thyroid and pituitary work properly) increase T4 production, which is converted to T3 by removing one iodine. T3 is very important, if you're a bit h...

Hi my tsh was 5.83 about 2 months ago. I was prescribed eltroxin 50 mg and ebexid tablets that has 25 mg of thyroid. Now after 2 months my TSH has dropped to 0.76. Is it a normal drop? Can the high TSH tested earlier could be because of some reason other than thyroid? Pls help. ## My TSH was 5.83 and I was prescribed electroxin 75. I have finished the 3 month course. What shall I do. Ihave not met the doctor again and not taking any medicine.

Hello, my TSH is 5.68 and doctor prescribed Levothyroxine 100 mcg. Its been 5 days only since I started medicine. I don't have symptoms as of now as its just 5 days but I'm concerned about the dosage of medicine. Is it too high for TSH of 5.6? My free T4 was normal. Doctor has asked for another test after 6-8 weeks. Should I be concerned about my dosage or wait for another test to talk to my doctor? ## Hi Anky, I'm sure your doctor would've had your best interest in mind when he prescribed you a certain dosage based on his evaluation of your condition. So I wouldn't necessarily be overly concerned about it unless you're experiencing some undesirable side effects as a result of taking that dosage. This is just my opinion, but it sounds like you should just wait it...

these numbers seem to be very misleading. I am in bio-identcal thyroid supplement but even on synthroid the tsh was very high. doctors seem to be mystified and can't get appt. with endocrinologist for 3 months. ## Hi Kathy, Sorry to hear about your situation. I'm not completely familiar with thyroid readings, but if it's of any help, the normal values listed for 'T3' levels are said to be anywhere between 100 - 200 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL). And a typical range for 'T4' is said to be from 4.5 - 11.2 micrograms per deciliter (mcg/dL). Reference: 1). nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003687.htm 2). nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003517.htm Perhaps certain symptoms you may or may not have could also be looked at as an indication for determining ho...

i'm taking thyrox-20 for 2 years. my tsh level was high. that's why my doctor prescribed me taking 2 tablets a day. now i am pregnant but feel some abnormalities like abdominal pain, feel warmer etc. is it harmful for baby/pregnancy?

It is coming down very slowly but still too high. Does any one know how long it wil take for TS H to drop to normal kevels. I had a total ablation of thyroid on 1 Nov.that is 10 mobts ago and startedxon .25 uq eurothox a day about 6 months ago and it was changed to .50uq after 2 months and then to .75 and for almost 2 months I am taking .1 mg. I am worried iver the weightgain. And I dont eat a lot but just cannot shed the ekstra 15 kg. I am worried that antibodys is attacking my T 4 and also worried about reverse T3 and peotin consequences and what I do not understand is that every GP in Port Elizabet

Hi, I am 8 weeks pregnant. My TSH thyroid level has come 308.2 in blood test during 6th week which is very high as compared to normal levels. I was not having any symptoms before conceiving so never consulted doctor. we got to know about TSH level only during blood test when I got pregnant..and it came 308.2, then we retested it again on empty stomach but it came 332..Doctor was wondering how i conceived at such high level of TSH. We have then consulted another physician. Doctor has prescribed 100 mcg thyronorm tablets (which I am taking everday on empty stomach) and suggested for retest after 1 month. I am really scared, can high level of TSH be a risk to pregnancy? Can it affect my baby or can it be controlled safely? Can you please advise and share your opinions? ## Yes, it can be co...

Hi, I had been diagnosed with Thyroid (Hypo) and my TSH was 100+ in the month of May'2013. At that time, my BP was slightly high (137/91) and weight 66 Kgs. I was prescribed to take Thyroxcin 100mcg. Later in the late July'2013, my TSH was 0.04 and BP was (147/73) and weight 62.9 Kgs. I was advised to continue Thyroxcin 100mcg for another 2 months but at home, my parents insisted me not to take such a high dose when TSH has fallen down to 0.04 and told me to take Thyroxin 50mcg which i am continuing since then.. On 4th Dec 2013, My TSH was 4.68, BP was (140/110) and weight 64Kgs. I changed my doctor and i was advised to take Thyronorm 50 mcg & Thyrowell and was advised to visit next month with FT3, FT4, TSH, TPO AB tests. On 24/01/2014, i visited the doctor with the above te...

Hi my mom had been using lithium with Thyronorm 50 mcg since the report of Anti tpo nd Tsh were so high than the range also my mom felt like the part below stomach aren't working so properly and she feels tired so doctor suggested to take valporate instead of lithium nd now she feels more sleepy nd passes most of her time by sleeping nd the problem of the muscles below stomach also increasing I m so scared

hi. .my height is 155cm n weight is 66kgs.. i put on 13 kgs in 2 months. my physician told me to go for a thyroid test.. my tsh level was high and prolactin too.. i was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. He prescribed me thyronorm 50mcg. he told me that i l loose weight once i start taking the pills...i v read in many posts that thyronorm will increase weight whereas some says it will reduce weight.. m still not clear with the concept. i really want to loose weight. i would b glad if u cleared my doubt.

I just received my labs, I'm 5'7" 150lbs, black male. My TSH 17.17 and my T4 1.08, I am currently on 100mcg, and my doctor increased me to 125mcg of levothyroxine. Does this seem normal, I was on 200mcg my entire high school and middle school life. Now I'm 23 and this new doctor doesn't seem to think I'll need that much, but I'm trying to join the navy and you can't unless your hypo and it's controlled on meds. ## Also, I've been hypo since I was 10yrs old. Got hashimotos and it did work on my thyroid, currently zero thyroid function and has been like this for over a decade now. ## Hello, Nappyclouds! How are you doing? If you really fear that this doctor may not be properly handling your condition, then the best thing to do would be to see a diff...

excruiating pain in soles of feet, dry, brittle hair and severe hairloss. ## My tsh is 8.5 n my doc has given me thyronorm 25 mcg. I m taking it from last 20 days. Is there any side effects to that n is it too high? I m 36 yrs and my weight is 55kgs. Pleas suggest me that how long i hav to take the medicines? ## Tina, the hair loss and dry/brittle hair can be normal side effects of this medication. Learn more thyroid hormone details here. I've never heard of it causing the foot pain, though. Have you talked to your doctor about it? Kavita, yes, you may also experience the side effects such as hair loss, brittle/dry hair and weight changes. And if you have a thyroid disorder, you may need to take some type of medication for it throughout your life. Are there any other questions?
