I do not have my numbers handy, I never saw them. All my doctor said was that my numbers were in normal levels, I also had to keep calling and bugging them to even get them. The reason I thought I might have thyroid problem is because I am dead tired all the time. There has even been times where I couldn't wake myself up, and when I did wake up I was still tired. I also gained a large amount of weight in 3 months during my busiest time of year, I didn't change anything about my diet. No matter what I did I just kept gaining the weight. I have never been this big before. Every doctor I've seen so far even thinks my thyroid feels larger than it should be but nothing is ever done about it. I think I might make another doc appointment and have it checked again. There is something wrong, even if it's not my thyroid there is something going on that shouldn't be.

I think 1 1/2 years ago or so they changed the normal range - so hopefully your dr or test results are using the newest guidelines.
but sometimes they need to go by your symptoms also not only the test #'s.
We had one member that had severe thyroid problems -could not get it stabilized at all - so much so that she choose to have hers removed.
She's on vacation in Hawaii  at the moment - a computer vacation too LOL
She did tons of research on thyroid problems.
oh silly me  you can do a search on the forums for her posts about thyroid - member name is - shelley
search all forums -from the main page - because she posted on vitamins, thyroid, medications and here |
