Re: Thyroid do you think this doc is being over careful?

My thyroid was over 5 and so the doc gave me .25mcg of synthroid and retested. Now my thyroid is over 7 so she is upping the dose to .50mcg.

No, not at all. AACE has recommended that the TSH be no higher than 3.0 and other medical resources suggest it should be under 2.0. Some studies suggest damage over a 2. For proper dose adjustment, make sure you always test the TSH first thing in the morning. For at 2PM its at its lowest and you might not get on enough medication. Below are some links on thyroid blood values
