TSH result

Hi All

Recently saw Dr D'Cruz which was useful. One of the things he has noted in the letter to my Rheumatologist is a TSH elevated at 6.91. He is suggesting she test this again as I may have hypothyroidism. Does anyone know what a normal TSH is, and also what were the other tests that some of you on this site recommend are done as well as this one? Thanks

Hi, the TSH test often does not pick up the true picture and results for tests are set in a very narrow band, so if you have had this picked up, it is a good thing. The best charity and forum for Thyroid issues is Thyroid UK, who also have a forum on here, you can have the same user name. thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/

thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/testin...

They also have useful pages to read both for Hypo Thyroid and Hyper Thyroid problems.

Hi, my TSH was tested along with loads of other stuff (after HELLP syndrome) and it was 0.56 (apparently this falls within normal values because there was no exclamation mark behind it on the sheet).

Thanks - having looked online I think up to 4 is normal, so you were definitely not Hypo with that result.

Damn, wish I had seen this before I went to the Rheumatologist. I knew enough to ask him to do the FT4 as well as the TSH, do you think that will be enough, I have no eyebrows so the rheumatologist was fairly convinced I did have a thyroid issue!
