A member asked:

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?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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.
