Negative TSH Positive Hypothyroid?
by Compulibrarian, Jul 23, 2008 05:36PM
Hi
I've been on Synthroid for 28 years THey've recently decided my TSH was too high. My hair is falling out I'm exhausted have lots of muscle aches I'm depressed and I've gained 15 lbs without changing any eating habits.
I think they need to raise my dosage again but the dr doesn't agree. Is it possible that my TSH is normal but I'm not?
Thanks

The only other thought that comes to mind is have you changed the way you take your Synthroid lately? For instance, if you always took it on an empty stomach with water, and now are taking it at breakfast with milk (or too close to vitamins or calcium supplements), that would affect the way your body absorbs the medicine and could have the same effect.
Did your doctor indicate a dosage change?
