Started as hyper, had radiation 2x, been hypo for 13 years and have been on 250 mcg levothyroxine. last blood shows me as hyper, how does that happen?

Levothyroxine: It happens with over replacement with Levothyroxine. Ask your doctor about Armour thyroid. It's a better drug! Good luck!

Levothyroxine: The needs of thyroid hormone for your body can change with age. If you are taking thyroid hormone and you need less, taking more causes labs to show hyperthyroidism. So it is called iatrogenic hyperthyroidism, which is caused by the consumption of thyroid medications. Seeing your doctor would help to decide if you need less thyroid hormone.
