What is the difference between Hypo and Hyperthyroidism, does it meanif your TSH level is below 1 you can become hyper even if you are Hypo and can you become Hyper when you are Hypo or are u more likely or the other way round I'm abit confused?
HELP!!!!!!!!!
There is a LOT of information available on Thyroid UK's main site, here:
Click on the pink menu at left, lots and lots to read, especially in "About the Thyroid".
How do you feel? Thats the most important thing!! TSH is not a good measure of how your thyroid is working or whether you are utilising the thyroid hormone at cellular level. Having a supressed TSH is fairly normal when on any form of thyroxine.
If you have a supressed TSH when not on meds and often a raised T4 would indicate being hyper. If you have a raised TSH and lowered T4 would suggest hype. But that is a very very basic concept.
If your are hyperactive or overactive then your body is producing too much thyroxine if you are hypo or underactive then it is not producing enough. That is a simplistic view.
It is possible to take too much medication and send your body too far away from the balanced or eurythoid state.
best thing to do is to read up on the subject and if baffled then post your blood results and the meds you are on with a brief history.
Apologies for typ I meant hypo not hype.
How can I tell if symptoms are hypo or hyper
Hypo and hyper
Am I Hyper or Hypo
hypo or hyper
