Regarding thyroid level
Hi
My mother is having thyroid issues from last 12 years and is currently eating 137.5 mg thyronorm tablet.
Previous (two years ago ) the dosage was 125 mg but doctor increased to 137.5 mg after it had increased . This time it has come to be little lower than normal (TSH 0.22) .
Should I ask her to decrease the dosage?
