Low TSH, Low Globulin. Suffering From Hypothyroidism. Suggestions?

I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism(Hashimoto). My TSH was at 39, now it's down to 16 with Synthroid 0.25. I don't have any symptoms and don't want to take these drugs. I don't feel any different. However, I did notice that my globulin was low (1.5) and now I'm wondering if it's somehow connected to my TSH being so high. Any thoughts?

Dear Ma'am,

Sorry to hear about your problem. Your TSH is very high and if you stop taking the medicines, the symptoms of hypothyroidism are going to be evident immediately. These symptoms include weight gain, cold intolerance, constipation, increased menstrual flow,etc and they can be very annoying. You need to continue your thyroid medication for the time being.
Globin does bind the thyroid hormones but it is not the cause of your high TSH.

Hoping for the best.
