Hi all,
I am really suffering from depression and anxiety since having my little by 10 months ago.
I just had my bloods done and they tested my thyroid, the result says 0.46 for serum TSH level, the range given is 0.35-4.94.
the result seems low to me but have no idea really, the text on the print out says - tell patient normal.
I feel so wired all the time, racing heart, general anxiety.
Just wondered if anyone had any opinions on this?
Thanks
Partridge, your TSH is in the normal (euthyroid) range ie you are neither hyperthyroid nor hypothyroid and these conditions aren't responsible for your symptoms. It's good to have TSH at the low end of the range as most people will experience hypothyroid symptoms when it is at the top of the range.
Anxiety and depression can cause palpitations and your GP may be able to prescribe anti-anxiety or antidepressant medication to cope with your post-partum depression.
Clutter, how about Partridge getting her FT4 or FT3 tested?

This was also an interesting piece on Clutters/admin's page, hope it helps.
Oh no, the link is not working properly, Clutter can you direct partridge to it from your page?
Priscilla, I don't have a page. The link you posted was from thyroidchange.org
When I clicked on your name Clutter, it came up with posts that it seemed you had put there, I didn't assume you wrote them I just tried to direct Partridge to the link from your page as I called it-what should I have called it instead of your page?
Thanks
Priscilla, when you click on someone's username it takes you to their profile page and you can see their posts and replies (user activity) but I don't recall posting about or linking to thyroidchange.org
These are the posts on my profile page healthunlocked.com/Clutter
Thanks for explaining
This was the title I found posted on your profile page re: Thyroid change.org titled; "Are we treating a lab test or the patient?" Useful Thyroid Tests and the Importance of Looking Beyond the Numbers.
Ok, gotcha now Priscilla. I don't remember the sources for most stuff I post. This is the link thyroidchange.org/our-blog/...
