A member asked:

My tsh was 11.46 in september, 3.37in december & 19.95 today. i am on levothyroxine 50 mcg & take medicine everyday. what would be my correct dosage?

11.46, 3.37, 19.95: That is an unusual set of numbers. I presume your doctor has been ordering TSH levels. What I don't understand is why comments are not made regarding the wide range of TSH in 4 months. Do you have any symptoms while taking levothyroxine? I may be missing something or it might be time to see another doctor. Please let me know how things go.
