I have got thyroid and taking medication
We have been consulting gyanic for children. Part of blood test, I came to know that I have a thyroid problem. I am on medication from last 3 months. Gyanic doctor has given 100 Mg, 75 Mg and now 62.5 Mg.. each dosage for a month's time followed by thyroid test every month. I have seen TSH value from 9.9 till 0.1 as of now. I was also worried about T3 value which is increasing regularly..to be more specific it was initially with in Limit values, gradually increased to almost 300 in value.. informed doctor the same and she has mentioned that is common, In last 3 months I have reduced weight from 80 to 75 NOW.. Kindly analyze my case and suggest if I need to consult a Thyroid specialist seperately
Thank you in advance
