With 50mcg from so long still TSH is not under control.
I'll advice to increase to 100mcg.
Also consult a good endocrinologist regarding the same. If required he will give Thyroxine immunoglobulins.
Next Steps
increase dose to 100mcg. Can do training
Health Tips
consult online for further queries and treatment plan
