Should I increase my dose of Thyronorm 50 mcg since my thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) are normal but my thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is still high at 5.3 after six months of treatment?
It is very reassuring that your T3 and T4 levels are normal, showing we are on the right track! A TSH of 5.3 after six months suggests your body is still asking for a tiny bit more thyroid hormone, even though your current 50 mcg dose of Thyronorm (levothyroxine) is helping. However, please do not change your dose on your own. I recommend sharing these results with your doctor. They may consider a very small adjustment to your levothyroxine dose to bring your TSH into the optimal range.
