My TSH level is 0.005. I'm facing many problems including cramps and numbness. Sudden weight loss and weaknesses. I've attached the reports with this post. I'm currently on medication suggested by my doctor. Earlier I was eating Thyronom 62.5mcg. Now the doc has reduced the medicine to 12.5mcg. My main problems are numbness and weakness.

A TSH like that COULD mean Hyper/overmedicated. If you have Hashi's, you could be in a hyper phase. Your symptoms could be either Hypo or Hyper.

Hi rickmartin

Not sure about hyper (I'm hypo with hashis) and it won't let me zoom in on you results but b12 I believe is linked to numbness and maybe weakness. Are these results above? Again to small for me to look at 😉

Hi I can't read your results, but have been hyper for over 6 years now (nearly 7). the symptoms you've described could be due to a few things and it could be that you've been over medicated. Have you noticed any change since lowering your dose?
