I am a known case of thyroiditis detected in the year 2015 but wasn't on any medication as TSH Profile was WNL, though I took thyrovol supplement for 3 months when my TSH was fluctuating sometimes high and sometimes low. I had spontaneous conception. During pregnancy I had low TSH and was started on tab eltroxin 50. My post pregnancy TSH aftr 2 months of delivery was 0.01 and after 4 months it has com to 0.18 (2_4. 2) with T3 4.09 (0.6-1.7) and T4 0.77 (0.34-4.25) though I had continued tab eltroxin 25 till now. What should I do now as my TSH is still below normal range. M having severe hair fall, lack of appetite, and irritability, I feel sleepless sometimes.

lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. You are being treated with thyroxine means the condition is hypothyroidism. When a person is on treatment for that with levothyroxine TSH should be maintained <3 mU/L, to be free from all the symptoms. But 0.18 mU/L is bit too low. So you need to reduce the dose to 12.5 mcg per day. Then check TSH again after 6 weeks, to see if desired level is achieved. Thanks.
