I am using desiccated thyroid and my TSH level is 6.4 My doctor flipped when she saw this, but I feel fine ?

If you feel fine, then that's great! Unfortunately, the majority of thyroid patients wouldn't feel fine with such a high TSH, but we're all different and what works for one won't neccessarily work for another

Hi How you feel is important. However, make sure you have a T4 Free T3 test too, If either very low, probably the FT3, then you can have NDT prescribed with the T3.I do because I have low FT3 and cannot take Levo, on armour + 20mcg T3.

Best wishes,

Jackie

well I will ask the doctor for further tests, but she usually only does tsh

Thanks!

Mistake! its Free T3 at 6.4

TSH is 0.05

Free T4 is 9.1

Better?
