Could my recent high thyroid test result (TSH of 5.540), weight gain, and highly irregular periods mean that my dose of Thyronorm 25 mcg needs to be adjusted, especially since I have not seen a doctor in a year?
Your symptoms of weight gain and irregular periods, combined with a TSH of 5.540, suggest your current 25 mcg dose of Thyronorm (levothyroxine) may need to be increased. Since it has been a year since your last checkup, I gently encourage you to consult your doctor. They can safely adjust your dose to bring your levels back into balance and help you feel like yourself again. Please be reassured that fine-tuning your dosage is a normal part of managing thyroid health.
