Anyways, prior to this my TSH was at a 5 and my endo wants it between .3 and 3. Just out of curiosity, how high of a dose does everyone take? I guess I never realized that I actually was on quite a high dose.
Hi Meg Pie, this is my first post ever. Anyway I have been lurking through all the message boards and I just had to answer your question. I was dx with hypothyroidism when I was 13yrs old. I have been on Synthroid/Levothyroxine ever since. 2006 dx with hashimoto's, first Dr. to ever look in to why I was hypo. I am on 250mcg a day also. I also take it by two different pills with two prescriptions. You are the first person I have ever talked to that took as high a dose as I do. I have known a few people on 175mcg, never 250mcg.

Also, hello to everyone else out there with pcos/ hypothyroidism or both.
