Hello
I appreciate your concern
High TSH is suggestive of inadequate dosage of Levo thyroxine so you need to adjust the doses
Anaemia needs to be corrected by iron and multivitamin supplements, at the same point of time we have to identify the underlying cause for aneamia which could be due to nutritional deficiency, excess blood loss or bleeding .
If you can upload me all the blood reports I will definitely help you in best possible way.
waiting for your reply
