If you were in the USA they treat, so I am led to believe with a TSH 3.

This is a link and you will see headache listed on it. Do you have other clinical symptoms too? Unfortunately, they are told to go by the TSH only and in the UK they say the TSH can go to 10 before treating.

If you can afford a private consultation email [e-mail] for a list of sympathetic doctors. Many doctors trained before the TSH became the way to diagnose thyroid gland problems, prescribe according to clinical symptoms.

Hi thanks for that yes I have got a list of symptoms stiff joints, hot flushes.hair loss. bloated stomach, raised cholesterol, trouble sleeping, puffy face to name but a few but my gp puts it all down to menopause. My tsh last year was 1.6 and now it iis 3 do you think that is a sign that things are not right.

I am not medically qualified but I would say that as your TSH is rising that your thyroid gland is not functioning as it should.

Seeing you appear to have clinical symptoms of hypo, if you can afford a private consultation, you can emai [e-mail] for a list of sympathetic doctors.
