Please provide me some more details

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for your query.

I am medical doctor, an associate in Department of Endocrinology, working with an experienced Thyroid disease specialist. I answer on his behalf.

It does take some time, around months or a year or so for all of the hypothyroid features to disappear after starting the medication.

I would like to know,

What was your TSH before starting the medication ?
Since when are you on medication ?
What medication are you on and please mention the dosage.
What is your premedication weight ?
Have you got your body fat analysis done, if so please share the report.

With regular dosage of Thyronorm for few months or a year and with Tsh within normal limits, once can expect of the hypothyroid features to disappear.

Are you still on thyronorm ? Since when are you on the same dosage ? Where you on the medication regularly ?

You may have to get
