Suggest Treatment For Hypothyroid
hi I don t know what to do about my hypothyroidism. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in my early to mid 20 s after complaining about fatigue. I was put on synthroid for two years...... it regulated my blood levels but did not help my fatigue at all. ..... so i went off the meds for 10 years.... every single thyroid test over those ten years showed normal thyroid levels ..... until this week I got blood results that showed 5.77 again! How do I know which results I can trust??

Hi
You can repeat the test in 20 days.In case of abnormal values, thyroxine should be taken.
Sudden increase in TSH values may indicate any autoimmune disorders like Hashimoto's thyroiditis.Thyroid auto antibodies can also be measured to detect any abnormal levels.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
