Hi,thanks for query. Hypothyroidism is a very common problem and it needs a long term therapy. You will have ti wait some more time to get appreciable results. In fact treatment of hypothyroidism atleast runs for an year. You must be on 50 mcg of Thyrox , it needs to be taken in the morning on emty stomach. This dose may have to be increased depending on your TSH levels. Please add Iodized salt in your diet, Iodine is required for thyroid hormone synthesis. Fish will also be advisable. Please avoid Cabbage, this has anti thyroid activity.
Drink lots of water and enjoy your life.

Better drink DNA Noni herbal fruit juice, 10 ml twice a day on empty stomach diluted in water. During the day, drink about 2 to 3 liters plain water to flush out toxins from the body. Drink Noni for about 4 to 6 months for better results. For more details, log in to www.dnanoni.com or send me a mail to subbie19@mtnl.net.in
