What is level 3 hypothyroidism?


Question:
My tsh level is 6.31 -they've started me on 50mcg synthroid. After a week I actually feel worse...

Answers:
I am on the same dosage that you are on. Your doctor should have advised you that it takes about 6 weeks to notice a change. At first I did feel worse as my body was adjusting to the medicine. I had problems with my hair falling out which stopped within one week of starting the medicine. The thing that I notice the most is my eating habits. Somedays I can't get enough to eat and other days I could care less if I ate anything. This happens whenever I get an adjustment on my dosage of medicine. Please stick with the medicine, it does get better! In time you will be able to read your body and notice symptoms that effect you.
