Suggest Treatment For Hashimoto S Disease
I have Hashimotos--- my recent antibody test result was 146--- my Sed rate was 32- my TSH is normal now at 2.9--- I feel ill all the time -- I am naturally a high energy person so I work through it ------ I have been on synthroid 150 mg for 7 months now--- prior was on 200 mg for 4 years and was being overdosed. I am concerned because my doctor is not responding to these test results

Hello,
The treatment of choice for Hashimoto thyroiditis (or hypothyroidism from any cause) is thyroid hormone replacement.
The drug of choice is orally administered levothyroxine sodium, usually for life.
As your TSH value is 2.9 and your doctor is not responding, you should decrease the dose of Synthroid to 125 mcg and check your TSH again after one month.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
