Hello, I have a very high TSH with I presume hypothyroid symptoms - goitre, constipation, dry skin, joint pain, heavy periods, cold hands and feet, flaky nails, weight gain, loss of sweating, eyelash and eyebrow loss. I take 200mcg levothyroxine diagnosed 2007. Thanks
TSH 90.3 (0.2 - 4.2)
FT4 10.2 (12 - 22)
FT3 2.3 (3.1 - 6.8)
(Taking levothyroxine on an empty stomach leaving 4 hours for food and drink)

There's no need to leave 4 hours between Levothyroxine and food/drink, one hour before or two hours after is sufficient but it's clear there can be no interaction as you've left so long.
I assume you do take 200mcg daily?
Was TSH normal on previous blood tests?
Have you changed Levothyroxine make or started any other medication?
