Confused if i am having Thyroid at 19??
Help!!!
I have tested myself after feeling drowsiness and fever and leg pain a year ago and result was 8.5
I continued taking 25mcg for a week and later discontinued
Now again it started after year.. I took 25mcg for 15 days now my results is 4.3
What should i do...I'm trapped in RED ZONE WITH CLOSED HOSPITALS
Hi
My recommendations is not to take any medication at this point of time
Check the TSH after 1 month
In case it is above 5 with symptoms of weight gain lethargy then we can start with the dosage of medication
Otherwise we can wait for initiation of treatment
Next Steps
Check TSH after a month and compare and decide
More then 10 start with treatment
5 to 10 with symptoms start treatment
No symptoms no treatment
Less then 5 no treatment
