Without seeing the ranges your lab uses and that the doctor is going by, I
would say you are still under treated. TSH can go lower and you would
still be in range. If the doctor doesn't prescribe more thyroxine, you
might try taking just a little more a day and then tell him after you feel
better, in a couple months or so. Of course, he will want to confirm with
a blood test. You should have felt better on the proper amount in a lot
less than seven months.
