If you feel fine, then that's great! Unfortunately, the majority of thyroid patients wouldn't feel fine with such a high TSH, but we're all different and what works for one won't neccessarily work for another
Hi How you feel is important. However, make sure you have a T4 Free T3 test too, If either very low, probably the FT3, then you can have NDT prescribed with the T3.I do because I have low FT3 and cannot take Levo, on armour + 20mcg T3.
Best wishes,
