Hi,
Always recheck thyroid hormone levels after 4-6 weeks only.
Anti TPO isn't a necessity. If you have a patient with chronic hypothyroidism without goitre, it's bound to be autoimmune only. The test won't change management
This person needs a tailored diet and exercise program. That's very essential for general well being and dose reduction
