This is quite common and typically means your body is asking for slightly more thyroid hormone, even though your other levels appear stable. TSH is the most sensitive marker we use to monitor thyroid health. Since your TSH is elevated, your current daily dose of Thyronorm (levothyroxine) 125 mcg may need a small adjustment. Please be reassured that this is very common and easily managed. I highly recommend sharing these results with your doctor.

Since you are taking Thyronorm (levothyroxine) and Nexito Plus (escitalopram and clonazepam), these symptoms could be related to mild stomach irritation or acid reflux, which can sometimes be influenced by medications or weather changes. It is wonderful that cold foods bring you some relief. To help manage this, try eating smaller, more frequent meals, and avoid spicy or oily foods. Staying well-hydrated is also very important. Please discuss these symptoms with your prescribing doctor to ensure your treatment plan remains safe and comfortable for you.

Yes, it is completely safe for you to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Having an underactive thyroid or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) does not increase your risk of vaccine side effects. Your current medications, Thyronorm (levothyroxine) and Krimson 21 (cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol), do not interact with the vaccine, and you should continue taking them as prescribed. Getting vaccinated is highly recommended to protect your health.

You've started Thyronorm (levothyroxine) at a gentle 12.5 mcg dose for your mildly elevated TSH. It takes time for this hormone to build up in your body. Most people begin to feel a lift in their energy and muscle strength within 2 to 4 weeks, with full benefits usually felt around 6 to 8 weeks. Your doctor will likely recheck your blood levels then to see if any adjustment is needed.

it can be worrying to see these shifting numbers, but please be reassured that thyroid levels often fluctuate when adjusting medication, and this is very common. Your low TSH and high T4 suggest your body currently has a bit too much thyroid hormone. This means your current dose of Thyronorm (levothyroxine) is likely too high for you right now. Please contact your doctor or endocrinologist soon so they can safely adjust your dose downwards. Avoid making any further dose changes on your own. With a simple adjustment, we will get your levels back into a healthy, comfortable balance soon.

A starting dose of 50 mcg of Thyronorm (levothyroxine) is a very standard and appropriate dose for a TSH level of 7.25, which indicates a mildly underactive thyroid. Regarding your cycle, thyroid hormones closely regulate menstruation. An underactive thyroid itself often causes irregular or missed periods. When starting levothyroxine, your body undergoes a temporary hormonal adjustment, which can sometimes delay your period. As your hormone levels stabilize over the next few weeks, your cycle should become regular. Please share these updates with your doctor to monitor your progress.
