TSH level

[doluph]

I apologise for asking a stupid question, how do you reduce your TSH level, I do try and read the post but some of them are so long an my brain fog makes me so thick!!!

Doluph, the only stupid questions are unasked questions

If your TSH is high a Levothyroxine dose increase will reduce it. If you post your recent thyroid results with the lab ref ranges (the figures in brackets after results) members will advise whether your TSH is too high.

Looking back through your posts I see you have a TSH of 2.5 and an FT4 of 15.1. Think I'm right in saying you're already taking levothyroxine? You need an increase in your daily dose so that your TSH is nearer 1, preferably below 1. What dose are you on now?

Hi jazzw, I am on 125mg Levothyroxine. Unfortunately I have burned my bridges with my GP, last visit I was asking questions and he didn't like it at all!!

The more important thing is getting your thyroid meds optimal, so you feel well. TSH raises when thyroid levels are low. But is not good for dosing your meds.
