Probably: Most people would benefit from more thyroid med with a TSH of 7.10. However, discuss this with your doctor to be sure that there is no reason that you should not increase.

Thyroid treatment: It is hard to regulate your thyroid level on armour, because it is a mixture of hormones and varies. You should be on levothyroxine.
