Giving Up - Hypo Thyroid

I have been on medication for my underactive thyroid for 7 yrs now, and I am not responding.  I have to go to the Dr today because my TSH was 111 on Friday's CBC and my WBC is at 24.  I am tired of fighting a losing battle, any suggestions.

Did you mean 2.4 WBC or 24 ? If it 24 then it is quite high. Can you tell us what dose you are on and the thyroid test results for last 6 months and your doses. Have you checked thyroid antibodies ?
