Revised Levothyroxine Dosage

7 August 2021

         Three days ago, I went for my second post-op follow-up. Having been discharged from the Surgical OutPatient Department on my first post-op follow-up (10 May), this was my first follow-up at the Kampung Simee Health Clinic. My Free T4 levels are still within the normal range but my TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormones) are very much elevated, which shows an underactive thyroid or hypothyroidism. As a result, Dr. Asha decided to make changes to my Levothyroxine. On weekdays, I will continue taking 100mcg, but on weekends, the dosage will be increased to 150mcg.

        So this morning, being a Saturday, I started taking 100mcg of Thyroxit and 50mcg of Euthyrox, with a full glass of water. And after that, it was time to work up my metabolism on the crosstrainer.
