Add new commentthyroidstory.mivox.com was started as a simple blog dealing with my new diagnosis of hypothyroidism. Topics include medical information about hypothyroidism, information about hypothyroid medications like levothyroxine (Synthroid) and Armour Thyroid, as well as natural supplements like Thyromine, vincopectine and various vitamins and minerals. The site has now expanded to include discussion forums where other hypothyroid patients can discuss their experiences with hypothyroidism, and share tips for what medications, supplements and weight loss strategies have worked best for them.
Low-normal vs. .035 Submitted by mivox on Wednesday, 2 August, 2006 - 8:04pm I do notice that the article is primarily addressing patients who's doctors won't medicate them to "low-normal" range ... which was not the case for me. My PhA specifically said she'd have no problem if I was at or near the bottom end of normal (which for the lab my clinic uses is .35), but my TSH was 10Xs lower: .035 I don't think I need a new doc, as she does seem very willing to listen to new information, and does not show any tendency towards the dreaded, "Oh, you're 'within normal range' so nevermind about your symptoms, you're fine" attitude. After all, she raised my Armour from 90mg/day to 120mg/day even though my TSH was "only" ~2.4, which is "within normal range" by almost all current standards. -------------- Reply |
