I read your post. You have an unusual way of posting. :) You sound excited :)

I have never posted here, I don't even know if you will get this message.

But, your orginal TSH was HYpo. Our TSH's can change day to day. And I would advise you NOT to totally trust any specialist. They are not "gods" and if you are having symptoms...blood tests are not always right.

You need to know that Thyroid disease is tricky and no two people are the same. I have a house full of low thyroid people. There was not a single one of us with a TSH over 3.

I have a 21 year old daughter with Hashi's but never tested positive for antibodies. (30% of people with Hashi's won't)

The TSH is a cruel way to check for thyroid issues. I would hope your doctor also ran a Free T4 and a Free T3. If not they are not seeing a true picture of thyroid hormone in your blood. The TSH is a measure of the pituitary ...There are plenty of people who are extremely hypo with rather a rather low TSH.

You need to study thyroid issues. There is a book by Dr. SHames that is helpful. There are several out there, but his is easy to read.

If you have any questions feel free to write..

good luck.

Thanks, Carol----everything w my thyroid is fine.     Endocrinologist DID do T-3 and T-4--as well as antibodies for Hashi's--negative.     Thanks for your kind concern.    My post was awhile ago.    Regards----Robert
