TSH error

I am in such a state that I copied down the wrong TSH level! It was 6,57 mu/L so that`s why the doctor put the dose of thyroxine up!

Thank you all for your replies, I`m finding them helpful and will definitely skip 2 or 3 doses to see what happens - it makes sense.

That makes sense, it was reasonable for your doctor to put the dose up, but of course your symptoms are more important than the numbers. Skip your levothyroxine for a day or two and see how you go. If in a week or so you still feel over-medicated perhaps ask you doctor for another small reduction, pointing out that you now take it on an empty stomach.

Not what you're looking for?
