A member asked:
I'd elevated tsh;around 22, taking eltroxin 100 mcg daily, it's under control now but i look bloated, height 5.7", 145 lbs, age 29. what is wrong here?

BMI 22.7: Hi. Looking "bloated" is subjective. Your BMI is a nice, healthy, normal 22.7. What is your TSH on levothyroxine? In other words, no evidence ANYTHING is "wrong here". Where are you in your cycle? Are you pregnant? Depending on how TSH and free T4 look, you probably need to consider a non-thyroid etiology. Confirm thyroid labs and see if symptoms improve in the next week or so. Good luck.
