Suggest Remedy For Abnormality In Thyroid Levels
Had TT dec 2013 due to pap. Carcinoma. Tried levo, synthroid, tirosint and again synthroid. TSH in Jany was 2.24 and by feb it went up to 6.41 . Endo refused to do anything so I am now seeing a new endo and she uped dosage from 88mcg to100 mcg. I know it's only 3 weeks but I don't know how muh longer befor I seek help. SOB, tired like crazy, can't remember at times, achy you name it. What is going on , will I ever be normal soon?

Hi, thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic.com!
I'm Dr. Elton.
It is different for everyone how long these meds take to work.
You should be scheduled for a blood test at about 6 - 8 weeks after starting levothyroxine.
At that point your dosage may be adjusted, and then another blood test at 6 - 8 weeks.
Hope you get well ASAP!
