Hyper pigmentation due to hypothyroid
I m having hypothyroid since 10 yrs. I m taking eltroxin 50. It was normal. Since September 20 I stopped taking medicine for one month. As I started taking kelp one tablet daily.
Today I got my thyroid test report. The TSH is 150.
Can I start taking eltroxin 50 or should I increase to eltroxin 100. How many days after I should check again. Please advice.

You have to increase the dose of eltrox but beeter you should do under observation of any doctor. Take it twice daily and dont stop eltrox. Hypothyroid is nit a curable condition its a treatable condition
