High thyroid reading

[lorrainewilson64]

Morning everyone just had my review at the dandruff they said my thyroid is high . I'm waiting for a doctors call to discuss what next . The reading is 7.82ml U/L . I'm on 75 strength thyroid. Just wondered what it means .

A high tsh means you're not getting enough thyroid hormone and will need an increase.

[lorrainewilson64 in reply to Obsdian]

Thank you. I got confused as the nurse told me that the doctor would call me and most probably reduce my thyroxine as its too high . I said shouldn't it be increased and she said No , it's the opposite.

[Obsdian in reply to lorrainewilson64]

That nurse doesn't know what she's talking about. Above range means too little hormone, bellow range means too much (unless you're on t3 and its suppressed).

[Bearcubs in reply to Obsdian]

Yes, I used to get so confused about that but too high definitely means an increase x

[lorrainewilson64 in reply to Obsdian]

Not on T3 . They wouldn't ever give it to me .

Gordon Bennet, its scary that these ' health professionals' are alive and walking amongst us. If they dont understand this very basic thyroid information they honestly have no business being allowed anywhere near patients.
