It looks as though your TSH is too high but we need to see the reference range from your GP for confirmation. Could you please obtain it and post it on here. Thanks. Jane x

Thanks Jane. I have had all of my thyroid removed. Been on synthroid 137mg for 8mo. ...TSH levels.7/9/13 0.100. 9/18/13 0.600 1/30/14 18.530. Standered Range is 0.270 -4.200. it was my understanding the higer the TSH number the lower the thyroid hormome.this last number was so much higher ,......what is a danger number?

Your Jan TSH is way over range and you need to find out why. Possibly the test was corrupted. You should be retested ASAP. How are you feeling?

Anything over range is potentially dangerous. Mine was 107.5 in Nov and I'm still experiencing symptoms although I'm back in range since end Dec.

Hi My TSH is immeasurable, not Pituitary gland, ruled out. I have end stage heart disease++ some of the Cardios are difficult! However, they are about everything. However, I have a brilliant Endo who realizes I need treatment. This has been the case for a long time.

We actually found my FT3 if too high or too low in range, relates more to my heart.

Best wishes,

Jackie
