Brief Answer:
I need your diagnose and your exact treatment.

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

If your TSH is 7 ,this means that you have hypothyroidism.(low thyroid function) and in this case you need to take hormone replacement therapy or levothoroxine.

Anyway please let me know more details about your exact diagnose and your actual treatment (the names of the medication/drug that you're taking) because I need to understand more clearly your thyroid situation and to be able to do the dose adjustment accordingly to your test results.

Looking forwards to your response...

Thank you for using HCM.
Wish you good health.
