OK: Should be no problem. Your thyroid function was actually normal when you started it. You do not need thyroid supplement.

High TPO. TSH 2.36. Has been as high as 3.5 in last 2 years. Full workup, tests, and 10 doctors later, new PCP wants to trial low dose thyroxine for 6 wks to see if fatigue and other sx improve. Am I wrong to be nervous to try since TSH is in range?
