Hello everyone. I'm new to the site.
After seeing a couple of different doctors a month and a half ago for severe fatigue I went to an endocrinologist who said my thyroid was a high normal (results below) and put me on 50 mcg of levothyroxine a day (along with an iron supplement and vitamin D). I haven't noticed a change in my symptoms at all and it's been over a month. I know sometimes these things take time, but I didn't think I would have to wait this long. Is it possible that the medication isn't working, even for a result that isn't that high? Is it even possible to have thyroid issues with results like these? Thanks for your help!
