Hypothyroidism Levels!! (Top voted first)

I just received my labs, I'm 5'7" 150lbs, black male. My TSH 17.17 and my T4 1.08, I am currently on 100mcg, and my doctor increased me to 125mcg of levothyroxine. Does this seem normal, I was on 200mcg my entire high school and middle school life. Now I'm 23 and this new doctor doesn't seem to think I'll need that much, but I'm trying to join the navy and you can't unless your hypo and it's controlled on meds.

Also, I've been hypo since I was 10yrs old. Got hashimotos and it did work on my thyroid, currently zero thyroid function and has been like this for over a decade now.

Hello, Nappyclouds! How are you doing?

If you really fear that this doctor may not be properly handling your condition, then the best thing to do would be to see a different doctor for a second opinion. That is always your right, if you're unsure.

Did you tell your doctor about wanting to join the Navy and needing it to be under control?

stay away from gluten if you have hashimoto. Gluten is inflammatory and mimics your virus. take your meds the same time every day at least one hour before any meals.
