What's Normal?

Hello

Learn how to read and monitor your labs according to how you feel. It takes time but Doctors dont treat the patients anymore.

They treat the paperwork from the lab! They go by general standards and so called Best Pracatices.

Doctors have 20 minutes to spend with you and decide what's best for you.

Normal TSH? No such thing. One size does not fit all. Your normal TSH is where you feel the best. The lab reference ranges are only guidelines.

I had full blown Hashitoxicosis with Normal TSHs. I learned the hard way to be proactive in my healthcare. And if a Doctor writes you off as non compliant he is doing you a favor. Go elsewhere.

Thyroid disease can make you feel like such poo sometime.

Stay strong and God Bless!
