Hello... TSH(Thyroid stimulating hormone) value of 0.01 indiactes excess of thyroid hormone ingestion/secretion. If she is taking treatment for hypothyroidism with thyroxine supplementation, it would be necessary to reduce the dose of thyroxine. i would suggest you to get free T4 levels and reduce the dose of thyroxine accordingly with help of physician/endocrinologist.
