Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the question. Madam let clarify for hypothyroidism (if well confirmed with high tsh) only medication is to take adequate dosage of levothyroxine. There is no medicine in any other alternative branch or therapy. This is because hypothyroidism occurs due to insufficient or some times nill production (synthesis) of thyroxine (t4) by our thyroid gland. Only remedy is to supplement the required quantity by taking the synthetic hormone. I hope you have unde...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
Madam, I have seen the details mentioned. Tsh 5.9 mu/l means your hypothyroidism is not in control. Ideally tsh should be around 3 to 4 mu/l and t3 as well as t4 should be in the normal range (there is no mention of t3 & t4 levels). Please remember you can not or should not stop taking levothyroxine, that will make the condition still bad. If you have any doubts please do come back. Thanks.

Since tsh levels are too high dose of thyronorm is very low. Repeat test should be done after one month. You have not mentioned about actual present complaints.in view of high tsh levels you should consult a consulting physician - internal medicine or better still an endocrinologist for some other tests like antibody study and monitor periodically under their supervision.

Cold air, hot showers, and fluctuating humidity can cause peeling skin, especially in the winter. Skin that peels over a large portion of your body is called exfoliative dermatitis.
