Hey Cheryl, we forwarded your question to Dr. Theo Friedman who came back with the following response ...
"Yes-TSH of 10 is quite high and 25 mcg of levothyroxine is a pitling dose.
Probably you need about 100 mcg depending on your weigt. You want to get
thryoid tests every 2 months until your TSH is between .5 and 2. I would
also get a bioavailable and total testosterone levels, but avoid salivary
cortisols.
