[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the posters claiming they’d be out of commission with a TSH of 3.9 are drama queens. It’s in the normal range. [/quote]

If you are an endocrinologist from 20+ years ago.  Anything over 2.0 is a sign of thyroid issues. I have Hashimotos, I see a functional med doctor.  Once I got my thyroid undercotnrol with supplements and diet (largely diet), I feel so much better.  I can tell when things start to go out of wack[b] (thanks menopause---menopause with Hashimoto's is just such a drain on ever feeling normal again), get bloodwork and my TSH is always high if I'm feeling like crap[/b]

100%

I never medicated subclinical Hashimotos.  TSH would rise and fall and, sure enough, all the months I felt like crap/anxious/on edge/exhausted/cholesterol and bp up--TSH was up.  All the times it was 1.5-2--tons of energy, calm, thick eyebrows, cholesterol and bp low, etc.  So many things are linked to thyroid--including cholesterol (athlete/healthy eater/normal weight, etc).

At 53, I finally went on meds to lower TSH, along with some new supplements.  Menopause really made hashi's crazy.  [/quote]
