Thyroid increase in dosage

Reginawilson
My test results were  T 4 , 1.1 and my TSH w/ reflux is 9.4 . My doctor INCREASED my levothyroxine to 125mcg from 100 mcg. THE skin on my fingers are peeling and my right arm and body hurt . Is this dose too high?

What's the reference range on your FT4?  Ranges have to come from your own lab report.

An increase is appropriate given your FT4 and TSH results.  Did your doctor test FT3?

Do you have any hyper symptoms?
