Hi,

Welcome to HCM. Thanks for asking question

You are having hypothyroidism. The treatment is with Thyroxine ( Thyronorm). Once on treatment the TSH should be between 0.5 and 4. Since your TSH is high, you have to increase the dose of thyronorm.

If I were your treating physician, what I would make sure is weather you are taking the medicine properly. If you are, I would increase the thyronorm dose to 125 MCG per day.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Regards
