Still on trial dose of levo 50mg
Kindly advice should I continue trial dose which's 50 mg or should I increase! Here's the tests since I started hypo meds ( levo )
Doctor said I need to increase to 100, how to increase I don't have a clue should I take 100 mgs tomorrow or increase by 25 mg but for how long, however levo seems to be doing great dropping from 10.76 to 3.74 on 50 mg in two months since started taking meds, why would I increase! she didn't mention why, also she said she might decrease within few months!!!!!!

Hi
Sounds right.
The 'normal' long term daily dose should be 100mcg to 200mcg.
But we start on 50mcg and build up gradually by 25mcg at a time. This is usually after 2nd and 3rd tests which can be at 6 to 8 week intervals. Some doctors wait 2 months some only 4 weeks.
You should have gone up to 75mcg following 2nd test on 17/11/2018.
So I would go on to 75mcg now.
It's up to you if you want to wait till next test before going up to 100mcg. Today's test seems a bit soon after 17/11 - was there a reason for this?
Ignore the 'normal' range of TSH now because the target therapeutic level for people with Hypothyroidism diagnosis is much lower than max 'normal". My Endocrinologist says under TSH of 2 but on here I learn that under TSH of 1 is better.
So how are you feeling? Are you still having any symptoms?
We need to keep our TSH low in order to protect the Pituitary Gland from over working by producing too much TSH.
It's good that yours is coming down - but it needs to be lower still.
Is there a reason you are concerned about taking your increased dose? Do you feel fine as you are? Are you having any ill effects?
Also:
Did you ever have the following levels tested and are they ok:
Vitamin D
B12
Folate and Ferritin?
Thank you ma'am for your feedback upon this, nope no further symptoms, no more throat swelling or swallowing tension, have a great healthy life since the 1st two weeks of levo, lols, yes you noticed that already both tests are pretty close about 2 weeks or so, re-tested because I skip the last appointment with doc
yes, I'll increase starting tomorrow by 25 mgs, but for how long should I remain on 72mg n re-test!
Vitamin D
/ B12 / Folate and Ferritin, I can manage to have them privately tested next week
wish me luck ma'am, for how long should I remain on 72mg of levo! thank you ma'am xx
I have been to doc couple of hours ago, said that 50mg pill fits me the most, considering dropping from 10.76 to 3. in two months on 50mg is a reliable achievement
