Elevated to over 150

Elevated to over 150

My dr office has just called me to tell me my TSH is over 150 and my cholesterol has jumped from 159 to 359.  I have an appointment for Friday, but wonder if anyone has any ideas here.  I had been off my medication for several months, and went in to get it started again.  The only other thing I take is Excedrin.

Forgot to mention that I have been diagnosed with a goiter in the past.

Why did you go off your medication? When I was first diagnosed with Hashi's/hypo, my TSH was 130 and my cholesterol was 210+. After only 4 weeks on 75 mcg of Synthroid, my TSH dropped to 4.75 and my cholesterol down to 177. Sounds like you need to get back on the meds!!

Good luck Friday.
