Hey Robert, that is pretty high. You know a lot of us are an medication for hypothyroid, it is no big deal. I take about 90mg of synthroid each morning, not a big deal. My doc who specializes in athletes says to try and get it around 2 or so. And since you are having symptoms, probably a good idea to get it sorted out. Usually the will start you out with a very small dose, like 50 or so, then test after you have been on it for a couple months or so. If the number is good, then you just retest once in awhile, or if you start feeling bad again, and adjust as needed.
Just one of those things that can go wrong with age, this is usually a minor thing as compared to what bad things that could pop up as we get older..
