Ok I just got my TSH result from my dr’s office. My levels went from 3.98 to 5.43 (the higher the number, the slower your thyroid is working) in a month while increasing my dosage from 37.5 to 50 mg. so the nurse just called and said he’s increasing my dosage to 75. Huh? No way – I said I have hyperthyroid symptoms and to tell him that. ugh

what does this mean?

i just had a throat scope yesterday for this lump in my throat feeling - nobody has even mentioned it could be thyroid related. ugh

Thyroid issues can be so complicated. I take 75 mcg of synthroid every day but he needs to raise it. My hair is falling out again...usually a sign of hyperthyroid, but I have hypothyroid. Some of the symptoms overlap. And that is the first thing I notice when my level isn't right. Good luck to you, I hope you get answers soon.
