If you are taking thyroid medicine because of an autoimmune thyroid disease, selenium or iodine deficiency, or because iodine is being blocked by other chemicals, then yes.
*Taking sufficient iodine in the face of iodine deficiency will generally correct hypOthyroidism.
* Lowering Iodine consumption in the face of over-supplementation will correct hypOthryoidism.
* Taking selenomethionine in the face of a deficiencywill generally correct that type of hypOthyroidism
* Autoimmune diseases can go into remission, essentially correcting the hypO or hypER thyroid symptoms.
* Some medicines cause hypOthryoidism. Stopping or altering these medicines will generally cure the hypOthyroid problem.
Additionally, hypOthyroidism may be caused by another chemical such as chlorine or fluorine blocking the production of thyroid hormone which requires iodine. Eliminating these iodine blocking agents will usually correct hypOthryoidism.

What does it mean when your t4 free levels are dropping?
T4 is the main thyroid hormone. If your levels are dropping, then your thyroid gland is not producing enough hormone or something is interfering with the hormone's action somehow. In either case, your doctor will need to determine if you need to supplement your T4 with oral medication.

Is obesity caused by the thyroid?
Weight gain is a symptom of hypothyroid (underactive thyroid), however, if you do not have hypothyroidism you should not use thyroid hormones to speed up your metabolism. This will cause hyperthyroid and have serious side effects which could lead to death. If you suspect you are overweight because of an underactive thyroid you need to ask your doctor to have your tsh levels checked AND your free t3, free t4 checked. If you want to support your thyroid naturally you could try incorporating more iodine and selenium rich foods into your diet. These minerals are needed for your thyroid to produce the thyroid hormones.

Does Equate Extra Strength Headache Relief interfere with thyroid medications?
Yes, in a couple of ways. 1) If you take them at the same time. Thyroid medications are meant to be taken alone, 30 minutes before you eat or digest anything else. 2) If aspirin (which is in Equate Extra Strength Headache relief) is used for even one week, the thyroid hormones they are looking for on tests (T3, T4 - both total and free, and TSH) will be lower. So, taking aspirin may not interfere with your thyroid medication, but it does interfere with how your thyroid is performing. It should be noted that in some thyroid patients, specifically, those who have a normal thyroid except for low T3 or T4, taking thyroid hormones with acetaminophen can set you up for liver damage. Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and Naproxen (Aleve) are safe alternative pain relievers which have not been shown to interfere with thyroid medications.

Could you have high tsh but still have hyperthyroidism?
Yes, it is possible to have a high TSH result while simultaneously having hypERthyroidism. The tests for hyperthyroidism must be used together to give an appropriate impression of thyroid function and diagnosis of dysfunction. The TSH test only tests the hormone called Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, which is produced in the brain and turns the thyroid on. To test for hyperthyroidism, your doctor will need to test Free T3 and Free T4. These are the hormones produced by the thyroid. If the pituitary gland in the brain is overproducing TSH (often due to a tumor) while the patient has concurrent thyroid disease such as Graves' Disease; overconsumption of iodine; thyroid tumor or other cause of hyperthyroidism; the patient will have an elevated TSH along with elevated Free T3, and Free T4 levels.
