Polyneuropathy due to hypothyroidism

Asked for Female, 33 years

I am facing polyneuropathy due to hypothyroidism. My TSH report my TSH serum was 28, then doctor give me thyroxin 50 mg. After taking one month medicine now i repeated my TSh test and now it is only 8. My doctor advised me to increase dose from 50 mg to 75 mg thyroxin now. I was thinking may be now the doctor will reduce dose but he increase my dose. Why it is so? And is the doctor guiding me properly?

Normal TSH levels are between 0.4-4 hence even though the treatment is successfully working, further doses must be given to improve the levels even further. Your doctor is guiding you well. Hope this helps you and we wish you a speedy recovery.
