When I was first diagnosed with Hypo, my TSH level was 120. After slowly increasing my Synthroid dosage over 45 days, I went for blood tests and it is now at 8. My Doctor acted like the problem was solved and I should feel fine. Is this normal, I have been losing my hair so badly it looks really balding- even in the front and I have developed horrible cyctic acne on my forehead and behind my ears. The doctor is acting like I should just be happy I am no longer losing my mind, just my hair and I should leave satisfied. I'm very frustrated and would love to hear your thoughts!!

Hmmm, under current lab values anything over 3 is considered hypo. Maybe you should be getting a second opinion.

Hi Bridget:
Have you sought out another doctor?
8.0 is WAY too high for hypothyroid. I didn't know you could have a number as high as 120- YOU POOR THING

Please update us if you have sought help from another doc and got help - we'd like to know there is a happy ending to your story
