how can I convince

[miamommy]

how can I convince my MD that low normal TSH reading may not be "normal" for me?  It dropped by about half in three months and I am feeling BAD...worse than I was three months ago!  Reading is .887 and "normal " is .46-4.7

HEY!  I never thought about my anxiety being related to the thyroid!  I had BAD problems with that in September (when we first started checking things) and am now on prozac....I forget what I am "heading to do"..like going downstairs to do something that I thought of upstairs and forgetting before I get there.  I have also had an elevated heart rate, cramps and aches, puffiness under my eyes and exhaustion during the day and sometimes insomnia at night

Ask for a thyroid antibody test.  You can have normal, as well has high and low thyroid level results--depending on when you test-- if your thyroid antibodies are elevated.  Hope you feel better soon.

And Darksuns is right--find a good endo.

You shouldn't have to convince anyone. Any endo worth their salt knows that. Everyone's normal is different. CCNine said her good-feeling normal is 1.5, yet at 1.5, I feel terribly hypo. Mine has to be below 1 to feel good. Your levels are a very personal thing!!! You need a good endo! :) Good luck!!!
