Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. Hypothyroidism can be a very serious condition if untreated. It seems like you have been having it almost from child birth. I think the dosage of the thyronorm is being titrated according to your response to medication and you are on an appropriate dose of medication. I would recommend that you visit with your doctor regularly to have the medication titrated frequently.

I hope this helps. Take care of yourself and have a lovely day!
