I Have Hypothyroidism

I got the results from my TSH test today and it was scary.😨

My TSH levels have been high, going up to 21 but lately after taking medication for almost 5 years they were around 5 , however the results I got today left me speechless. My TSH ( twice confirmed by the lab was 0.069 !!!!!!!!! WTF ??????

What does that even mean, am I hyper now ?😱

The Doctor I spoke to today didn´t give much of an explanation just gave my a new prescription with a lower dose of levothyroxine ( from 150 to 125 ) , ordered a T4 exam and told me to see him in a month.

I´ve felt tired and really bad lately but I figured it was because my levels were back to high again not this awful low.

Has anyone experienced something like this ?

Yes, as soon as I get the other tests done I´ll check with an endocrinologist, the doctor that saw me today was a an internist. Yes, a malfunctioning thyroid can be a real pain and as you say very expensive. Thanks for your comment.
