Tsh is varying every month . doctor is changing the dosages but not stabilizing . wat is reason. i have hashimoto's .

Depends upon: What you mean by "varying". Tsh is not constant. Make sure you're on brand name replacement. Hashimoto's can cause variable thyroid test results by itself. You also need to wait a full six weeks after a dose change to let it equilibrate and levels to stabilize. See an endocrinologist if necessary.
