Have had hypothyroism since 2000-result of radiation treatment. cannot reach normal levels in spite of frequent meds dosage increase. why?

Thyroid replacement: If the proper dose of thyroid replacement is used, your levels will come up to normal. Perhaps you would do better with a different type of thyroid preparation. A thyroidologist would be best to guide you.
