Mr. lybrate-user, If your latest TSH level is 27.07 mU/L, then the current dosage of thyroxine is not adequate. It has to be increased. Plus you will have to take a restricted diet, that matches your caloric needs based on ideal body weight and extent of daily physical activity. Plus please do a blood glucose (fasting, PP) check up and come back with the results. Thanks.

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. It appears that some other doctor must have answered you earlier. As I do not recommend thyropace in the treatment of hypothyroidism. This has absolutely no role to play. The only treatment for hypothyroidism is taking an adequate dose of levothyroxine and maintain tsh around 3 to 4 mu/l. At that level all the symptoms are in check. Brain fog as stated could be due to inadequate treatment. So please check your tsh and...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details, it is a bit surprising to know when TSH was 1.21 mU/L, dose was increased to 100 mcg of Thyroxine.
Ideally when adequate dosage is taken (of Levothyroxine) TSh should be maintained aroun 3 to 4 mU/L.
Now as the TSh is down to 0.08 mU/L, dosage of Levothyroxine needs to be reduced to either 75 mcg or even 62.5 mcg per day. Then check TSH after 6 weeks to see what has been the benefit.
Very low TSH can give symptoms of Hyperthy...more

The target tsh levels in a case of patients on treatment forhypothyroidism is 1-2 mu/l. So, you are suboptimally treated. You need to hike up your thyroxine dose under the supervision of your doctor to achieve that target. Make sure that you take tab. Thyroxine preferably empty stomach 1 hr. Before breakfast or otherwise at least 2.5 hrs after dinner.

You need to check your thyroid profile, blood sugar fasting and pp from some lab. In the meanwhile follow this 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of water first thing in the morning (within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Don't overeat 3. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U should eat whatever your mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say wh...more

Increase the dose of thyroxine to 50 mg .Keep monitoring every three months.You diabetes is well controlled.Don't hesitate even if it lifelong.

it is common after thyroxine dose increase. But 75 is not the ideal dose, you should have been given 50 plus 12.5 mcg only. All the best
