Which level is high and which is low? It is important to know.
Do you have copies of your tests?
If your doctor is just trying to adjust you on TSH and your TSH is jumping, well, you need to have Free T3 and FreeT4 to see what your thyroid is doing.
TSH measures what your pituitary tells your thyroid what to do. Is your pituitary healthy?
How do you feel?
