Well, Frank said my TSH was 3.9 and it should be below 5 and it was so I'm fine (that's what he said).
The T3 and the T4 were perfectly normal (that's when he said if they weren't then they would be worried about Hashimoto's. He said my T3 and T4 were perfectly fine.

Okay, I just got out my previous blood tests.

Here we go:

12/06 - 3.19
1/18/05 - 3.80
3/07/03 - 2.97

Now on the right of this it says the range is 0.40-5.50.

So I don't think my doctor will think I have a thyroid problem if I'm 3.9.

When I go back to Cornell, I'll tell my endocrinologist all the numbers.
Also when Alan has his appointment with Dr. Fred, I'll mention it to him.

Otherwise, as he put it, "Yes, you're healthy as a horse".
And I'm taking my b-12

And I just looked up the symptoms of an underactive thyroid. I'm not tired (even before the b-12) (and since I'm on the B-12, my energy level got a boost), my skin is not dry, I'm not constipated. Essentially I feel fine. I'd like to hit Alan over the head sometimes, but I FEEL FINE!!!! lol
