I have hypothyroid for 24 years now. I am now 52 years old. I have been taking 125 mcg for many years. Can't say how many. My levels were within normal range until recently. Three months ago my tsh was 0.1 and no other thyroid test done. Doctor decreased dose to 112 mcg. Now new test was done and tsh is 5.00 and range is (0.4-4.0). I have no symptoms of hypothyroid. My doctor has not got in touch with me yet. Just wondering why the sudden change in thyroid level in all these years.? What kind of dosage would I be on now?

Sometimes as we grow older and our body chemistry changes, the thyroid levels will also change. Just this year I had an increase from 200 mcg. to 250 after being on the 200 since the late 90's.
