High level of TSH

[mkteotia]

Hi, my recent tests for Thyroid (T3-96, T4-7.4 and TSH-16.73 (down from nearly 21 about 4 months back). I am on Thyrodinum 3x homeopathy medicine for last 4 months (tablets 2-0-2). Kindly suggest if I need to change the medicine or add any other one. Regrds

You are clearly hypothyroid. Homeopathy won't and doesn't work. You should get T4 (thyroxine) to start with from your doctor and you will be on it probably for life when you find the right dose to take.

Welcome to the forum, Mkteotia.

I'm not familiar with Thyrodinum or how homeopathic medicine works in relation to hypothyroidism but either you are inadequately dosed or it is not working well for you as your TSH has taken 4 months to drop from 21 to 16.73. If you had been taking Levothyroxine it is likely your TSH would have dropped to the desirable level of around 1.0 within 6-12 weeks. I can't interpret your T3 and T4 results without the lab ref ranges (figures in brackets after results) but TSH is high because T4 and T3 are low.

There are posts on Thyrodinum in healthunlocked.com/search/t...

Mkteotia,

T3 and T4 are low in range as I said they would be.

As I said, I don't know much about homeopathic medicines but I have read that homeopaths recommend hypothyroidism needs treatment with thyroid replacement, usually Levothyroxine.
