i had a baby 4 months ago. at my 6 week checkup 2 months ago the dr took me off all thyroid meds. i have a history of hypothyroidism. she said they needed to redose me. when i went to the dr the other day my levels were crazy. my tsh was 176.33 and my t4 i believe was .39. my mom said that i shouldnt be doing as well as i am right now and is very concerned about me. im back on meds now but what could have or could still happen with my numbers where they are right now.

most young, otherwise healthy people can tolerate brief severe hypo - you should do fine, but never stop the medication again.
