I feel that you have better understanding of your thyroid condition than your doctor. If you don’t suffer from any symptoms then it is called as sub- clinical hypothyroidism. In such cases all you need is to monitor your thyroid levels every so often and don’t often need treatment unless tsh rises more than 10 or you start developing symptoms usually seen in hypothyroidism.
