Best is to take the medicine and keep checking every three months. If it is above 5 after three months check with your doctor and increase the dose till it stabilises on less than 5. You shall feel fine then. But be careful. Change medicine quantity only after three months checking as it takes three months for the medicine to have effect. more

I have been a hypothyroid patient for more than 18 years and take Eltroxin since. But whatever the dose, I find regular walk/exercise makes all the difference in better management of it. Walk, walk and walk and it will help in better weight control and therefore feeling of less fatigue and other related issues. Taking a walk of minimum half hour in the morning and another half hour in the evening is a very small sacrifice for long term management of this problem or others too. I feel your dose is too low. Consult a thyroid specialist and keep a regular check every 6 months of the three numbers. All the three T3, T4 and TSH are interrelated so looking at just one is not enough. Its fairly easy to manage this condition provided you are following your doctors advice. Hope you are taking the medicine empty stomach first thing in the morning? and then eating breakfast after 45 mins? more

One should take time to settle. It is a disease due to Iodine deficiency. Thyroxin is a common medicine to cotrol. Take medicine as prescribed by doctor and get your blood tested as advised. It will come down. I am taking the medicine for long. Yes your weight should reduce, this will help you to get away of other problems. Control food habits as advised by Doctor/ Dietician. Don't get tense so much. Cool down and you will recover fast. You may visit Dr. S.P. Singh at safdarjung Hospital in New Delhi. Highly competent to solve. more

Dear Sanjay Kumar, Whatever you do, please understand that in the case of Hypothyroidism, the alternative systems such as yoga, ayurveda and homeopathy are at best supportive only. You have to manage with thyroid supplements. It is obvious that 50ug of thyroid supplements is not sufficient for you. You will require a higher dose. Please try to maintain your TSH levels ideally between 0.3 to 3.0uIU. You have to be in regular touch with your physician who will guide you in this regard. Hypothyroidism is a very simple condition and is easy to manage provided you follow the instructions of your physician on a regular basis. more

While going for medical treatment ,be ,close to the nature. I suggest you first consult Naturopathy Hospital, fallowed by YOga and suggested dietary habits as suggested, and if they recommend ,you can later try for Ayurveda and Homeo medicines.Allopathy is the last resort,when first three does not work. more
