I have hashimoto. my ldl higher, tsh lower, and weight up. dr. dbled synthroid (thyroxine) (to 150 mcg) on sat and sun only. why not increase equal amt everyday?

Maybe too much: The early part of hashimoto, you are hyperthyroid and eventually become hypothyroid and thus needs replacement med. Tsh is a "thermostat molecule" and you reported it being lower, this suggests you are taking too much medicine and the dosage should actually be decreased. I would suggest consulting your doc...Ask questions! LDL ; weight changes maybe more related to diet/activities. Good luck.
