I had my bloodwork done last week , I have a high TSH of 6.05. My doctor tried to put me from 125 mcg to 200 mcg. I spoke with her and reminded her I was a little hyper on 150 mcg about 7 months ago, at that time she had lowered my meds to 125mcg (unithyroid). She agreed it was to high of an increase and we are going with 150 mcg and bloodwork in 6 weeks. I have been fine until about a month ago, a little weight gain on the belly and hips, tired, just not feeling right. Is it possible the 150 mcg will help? can going up just that little amount help?How long will it take? Is the weight gain usually bloat and water retention? I know my body pretty well and I knew something needed to be adjusted. To be honset I think she was wrong 7 months ago , maybe confused by the tsh readings. When I spoke to her last night, she thought I was still on 150mcg! I have read several different things about the TSH scale, 4.50 being normal, anything over is underactive.
