TSH is undetectable again after a good progress / adjusting dose by myself

A bit desperate...

On meth since Dec 2025, started with 25mg when TSH was 0.005 (+T3,T4 way out of the range). After 3 months with a gradual dose descrease (to 15mg) my TSH showed as 2.85 and T4 showed slightly hypo, but overall I felt amazing though, even hairfall stopped for a few weeks. So endo was optimistic and planned to keep lowering the dose. But seems those changes were done way too fast for my body to catch up😢. It was like "ok, take 10 mg for 2 weeks, then 5mg for next 10 days, then 2.5 every day for another 2 weeks, then 2.5 every second day and see you in 2 months with labs"

So I eventually ended up with 2.5mg every second day untill appoinment, which supposed to be in the beggining of May. I missed the window for scheduling an appointment and now i have to wait till June. But i already got my labs and it is a mess again:

TSH 0.006, T4 mid range and T3 is closely approaching the upper border.

I've been feeling slightly hyper for past few weeks. Also, i got sick recently, maybe it was another trigger...

Anyway, I decided to slightly adjust the dose by myself. So now instead of 2.5mg on every second day, I will take 2.5mg every day.

Is it a stupid thing to do? I mean, technically T4,T3 are still within the range, but symptomatically I feel that something is off...

The fact that THS dropped this low again is so upsetting and overwhelming. Was my endo wrong and shouldnt descrease the dose so fast? Like, keep it for months instead of weeks?

Pls share how your docs adjust dose during the 1st year of diagnosis and how long it took for you to stabilize.

Much appreciated.

Please share your surgery and recovery stories with this condition (any tips would also be appreciated). I have Hashimoto and Graves and im quite hesitant to take a desicion as the surgery can be very stressful for organism and worse my autoimmune condition.

I've been struggling with chronic tonsillitis for about 8 years now. Few times a year it becomes accute and I have massive stones which mostly dont come out by itself.

It is drastically hard for me to make a decision.

Pls share your experience.
