A member asked:

I have congenital hypothyroidism and an enlarged thyroid, any suggestions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Suggests: You are taking too low a dose of thyroid replacement therapy, but don't change dose yourself; have md check free T4 and TSH to decide and help find right dose for you.
