You have an underactive thyroid. Those were my levels too & I was put on levothyroxine. You are not supposed to start & stop the medication as it can be dangerous. (that was to fuelie) So I don't know why anyone would even think of doing that.

I've had every symptom imaginable with mine. Irregular periods,cysts during my period,extremely dry skin, hair falling out,mood swings. It was as if i had constant pms or was bi-polar.Edema,achey joints all over, etc etc. There's so much crap that having an under or overactive thyroid can cause.

I feel better than I did 2 mos. ago but it will probably take longer for everything to be normal again since I suffered with this issue for years.

There's nothing to be afraid of...you'll be fine. take your medicine the same time in the morning every day (do not skip any days) then an hr after taking it you can eat.
