Thanks for your query
Hypothyroidism needs to be diagnosed correctly by doing the complete thyroid profile which includes TSH , Free T4 , free T3 ,reverse T3 , Thyroid antibodies and thyroid Ultrasound .Just doing only TSH is not enough.
T4-which you are currently taking is not the active hormone .T3 is the active hormone.
T4 needs to convert to T3 which requires certain nutrients like Iodone , iron , zinc b12 selenium etc
otherwise if you dont do the right tests and the right medication things are not going to improve .
You have not mentioned your weight , any hairloss , constipation etc
Stop all dairy products go on a plant based diet .
