GravesLady, yes I can recognize that my TSH is lower and not higher which is why I did not understand why my doctor told me my levels were too high when in fact they looked lower. tm514 gave a very good explanation of how the low vs high works.
That all makes since now.
Your TSH is not higher, it is lower. can you not recognize that.
listen to your doctor. H is the one with the long expensive education.
Can you explain why .08 is higher than the reference range of .40 to 5.50? Isn't the reference range where you want to be?
The TSH is for thyroid stimulating hormone (produced by the pituitary gland). When it is low (as yours is), it means you have too mych thyroid hormone (T4 and T3) and the TSH is telling your body to produce less. When you are on thyroid replacement, a low TSH means the dosage you are taking is too high, therefore requiring the dosage be lowered. Since your TSH is low, your replacement dosage needs to be lowered.
Doctor is correct. You are wrong.
