TSH is rising taking same dose Synthroid for no understandable reason

Posted by vondav @vondav, Mar 18 10:31pm

I had my thyroid removed 15 years ago, and I've been on Synthroid. I need to stay suppressed. The dose has been the same for a number of years now, but recently it is rising quite a bit. In the past, my numbers were around 0.05. Last year it rose to 0,5, and my dr. and I couldn't figure it out. I just received blood results, and I am now at 1.2. Has anyone had this happen or does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations, please? Thanks.

@sophias I never realized that getting a good balance with meds after thyroid removal could be so difficult. I did great for 15 years until this last year. Good luck to you.

@vondav For me too. I am 12 years out from my surgery, and this last year my numbers have been all over the place. Still trying to get balanced.

@binw good luck to you. It's odd that I'm doing nothing differently, yet numbers have changed quite dramatically.
