What Causes Elevated TSH Levels?

Posted on Thu, 9 Jun 2016

Question: Hi doc,

My TSH level has jumped to 17.14 from 1.86
Have been prescribed thyronorm 100mcg, GLA_M for 60 days and tayo 60k once a week. Before this I was on eltroxin 100mcg for.
Do I need to anything further on ??

Brief Answer:
Retest complete thyroid profile including T3 and T4

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

A sudden jump in TSH is not possible. I doubt the lab readings. Can you repeat the test (complete thyroid profile) again from another lab with early morning sample at 7AM to 8AM after taking your regular Thyronorm 100mcg after you get up in the morning.
I doubt the reading with sudden jump over 15.
Vitamin D and mecobalamins would not interfere with thyronorm function so adversely.
Take Vitamin D after breakfast and GLA-M during lunch.

Please let me know.

After the doctor saw the sudden jump he later has prescribed tayo and gla m. And also asked me to continue with thyronorm.
Before this test I was only taking eltroxin 100mcg

Brief Answer:
I do not think Eltroxin and Thyronorm make more difference

Detailed Answer:
Let's see after the repeat tests.
I do not see such major change with Eltroxin and Thyronorm.
