Thyroid of 9.79

2021-05-11 04:56:38
I have TSH 9.79. Should I have to start medicine for that. My doctor told me that unless it is above 10 we don't recommend medicine. She told me to change my diet and again be tested after one month. Should I follow what he is saying or change doctor? As far as I know 9.79 is very much high TSH.

Next Steps
