Medication ? To much - not enough.

I have a rather silly question, but brain fog will not let me figure this out.  

If my TSH is 2.25, to reduce it to the 0.1 optimal number do I need more Levo.   I am taking 100 mg 6 days a week.  Someone mentioned I was under educated.   It is the inky test I have so far until I see a new FM doctor in a couple of weeks.  I have been hypo for years and diagnosed hashi's a couple of years ago when my gyno found nodules in my neck   

I'd like to get my pcp onboard for an increase if I need it now though.   Just unsure of how the medication works with your readings.  

I'm new at all of this and very overwhelmed.  I want it all fixed now after fighting for so many years with what I know now are incompetent endo's.  

Thank you for all your insite and help.  You are all a godsend.  

Best health.

Personally I would not for us on the 0.1!

Some do say that ideally tsh of 1.0 (not 0.1) is a good figure to aim for but it is a personal thing to find and stick with the figure that suits you.we are all different so it needs to be where you feel reasonably good which can be very different.

Hope you find your sweet spot!

First line above should have read I would not focus!

Thank you.  See I can't focus on the decimal points.  So maybe if I get closer to the 1.0, I will find a better spot.   

I know it's hard to figure without all the other tests but I'm working on them.  

I feel better just knowing I'm not that far off of maybe finding a better place  

Thank you.

Meparolin,

To lower TSH increase Levothyroxine dose.  TSH 2.25 is a bit high for most people on Levothyroxine.  Taking 100mcg x 7 days might be sufficient to bring TSH down nearer to 1.0.

Thank you for the information.  I was just unsure which way to go.  Hopefully as soon as I see the FM Doctor she will put me in NDT.  

Until then any bit I can do to help I am trying.  

Today is my skip day so I can start now.   😎😎
