in any case this is a prima face indication of hypothyroidism that most doctors would treat with thyroid hormone medication. I have no knowledge of homeopathic treatment but have never heard of it having any potential to treat this disease.
I assume your doctor has checked for goitre or other nasties in the thyroid. If not, get that done ASAP. A gluten-free diet may help but it is not a cure on its own.

What does the lab quote as "normal range" for a TSH test? This should be shown on the results, which you are entitled to see.
I ask this so as to be sure we are not at cross-purposes regarding the unit of measure. The normal range quoted by most labs in North America is below 4.4 so you can see why 90 sounds very high indeed.

Extremely high TSH usually indicates Graves' disease rather than Hashimoto's.

I am so sorry to hear about your wife. That is an incredibly high TSH! I feel bad if my TSH goes anything above 4.00 or 5.00. At 90.00, your wife must feel awful. She is definitely going to need to start a T4 medicine such as Levothyroxine. She will most likely need for this for life, as the most common cause for hypothyroidism in developed countries is Hashimoto's thyroid disease, which there is no cure for at this time. She may be able to help slow down the attack on her thyroid through eating healthy. No gluten, avoid sugar and processed foods. When she starts her medicine, it can take a long time before she finds a dose that's right for her and for her levels to come down to where they need to be. My endo told me that he likes to keep his patients TSH level at around 1.00 because that's where he finds his patients feel best at. Also, as Dave mentioned, she will need an ultrasound to look for a goiter, nodules..ect. Tests for thyroid antibodies may be helpful also, to help differentiate between Hashimoto's or another cause of the hypothyroidism. The names of these test are the TGab and TPO antibody tests. I wish her the best, as it will not be an easy journey for her with a TSH that high. With time.. she will slowly start to feel better though.

Supplements to support your system are essential amino acid complex, boron, multivitamins and multiminerals. B complex or multivitamins should include coblimated B vitamins. Liquid chlorophyll from a non immune stimulating spout even such as mulberry leaves, turmeric and activated charcoal help detox and calm the immune system.
Hope that helps. PM me if you have questions, want more details or resources for where to buy things.

Oh, forgot to mention, you could have antibodies, high reverse T3 or other molecules that bind up active thyroxin, which is why your brain thinks there isn't enough thyroxin. There is, it's just getting bound up. This can be alleviated in part by my previous suggestions.
