High level of TSH
i have high level of TSH 13.1 miu/ltr. What does it indicate. What should i do?
some also feel better(even if numbers normalize on thyroxine) when switched to a natural med like armour which has t3 or add cytomel a synthetic form
For some the thyroid will deplete and medication is a life long treatment. I have no gland left due to ablation so I need meds to keep me well.
I am a firm believer that the thyroid can heal - but this is very difficult to know how. Everyone is different and what may work for one - may not for another.
The best and quickest way to indicate true hypothyroidism is to have a full proper panel of thyroid labs To start a FT3 and FT4 test is best to determine abnormal function.
Also if speculated, antibody testing is good too - this helps determine if you are autoimmune hypothyroid.

Yes i have symptoms of hypothyroid. And i am taking Thyroxine Sodium 100 mcg/day for the last 4 months. But there is only a marginal improvement in my health.
is this problem (hypothyroidism) reversible or is it a permanent problem?

In the realm of medical labs - the TSH is used as a defination of seeing how the thyroid is preforming. Actually it is not that but the pitutiary telling the thyroid how much to pump out.
Most doctors will look at your TSH and tell you your thyroid is low and you are hypothyroid.
Do you have symptoms of hypothyroidism?
