Doctors' responses
If your TSH is sitting at 4.87 after taking 75 mcg of thyroid medication and you’re currently taking the tablet every two days, it’s a good idea to have a conversation with your doctor about the next steps. Usually, the goal for TSH levels is around 0.4 to 4.0 mU/L, though individual targets can vary, especially depending on your symptoms and any other health conditions you might have. It’s possible that the two-day gap you mentioned is affecting the stability of your thyroid levels.
Before thinking about adjusting your dose further, it’s important to consider a few things: first, how you’re feeling symptomatically—is your energy level stable? Are there any symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, or mood swings? These subjective factors can heavily influence treatment decisions. Additionally, it’s beneficial to consistently take your medication as prescribed, without skipping days, unless directed by a healthcare provider.
If adjustments need to be made, they typically involve either switching back to daily dosing at the current level or perhaps even considering a marginal increase or decrease in dose once your body’s response has been evaluated more consistently. Regular re-evaluation of thyroid function every 6 to 8 weeks after any change in dosing is recommended to monitor how your body is responding, so don’t hesitate to stay in close contact with your healthcare provider for monitoring and guidance.
