Hello,
I read carefully your concern.
Even under treatment your TSH level is still high. It means that your thyroid is still underactive.
You should discuss with your treating physician to raise the dose of levothyroxine (if thee are no contraindications) and check the TSH after 6 weeks.
The symptoms of hypothyroidism will persist as long as the TSH is not within the normal ranges.
For a personalised comprehensive evaluation, treatment recommendations, or individual therapy, ask me at HealthCareMagic at this private link:
