That's a really interesting article. Next time my GP says I'm "normal" I shall ask him if he would declare someone obese or underweight without first looking at their height.

I also found it interesting that TSH is often low in people who's adrenals cannot handle thyroid hormone. So anyone with adrenal fatigue would find that their TSH is low to slow down production of thyroid hormones to avoid stressing the body further. Really interesting!

yes on the other hand there is also some less good stuff

ie he says that if you are being treated on NDT and/or T3 (on its own or combination therapy) and your TSH is low then you are overmedicated!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

(this is in his 'thyroid scale' which you can access by clicking on the table)
