TSH and thyroid hormone levels in Women
Hi, I’m a 29 year old that was dignosed when TSH and was prescribed Levothyroxine-75mg. I noticed that all the women in my family had to take this pill. Is this a condition that can’t be changed because it is hereditary? Also, I decided to stop taking the medication and show that my TSH is 8.88 mU/L range is between 0.35 to 4.94 then my thyroxine free is 1.0 ng/dL. Would this benefit me in the long end or should I continued taking the medication ?
