A member asked:
Hi i went to the dr for thyroid tests but he only checked tsh which came out to 0.59 and prescribed me 50mcg levothyroxine is it right dose for me ?

TSH: Sorry, but I can't answer this without more information. TSH of 0.59 is not bad but doesn't have any meaning without T4 and T3 (liothyronine). If you blood was drawn not long ago the lab might still have a sample. If not I think you should politely ask your doctor to complete the labs.
