JB- If it's under 1 can we stop worrying?

I went to my allergist today, I thought he had run the full thyroid tests but apparently I never went and got it done, they didn't have results. I really don't want to have more blood drawn if it's not necessary.

Well, Tree Frog has to keep her TSH between .3 and .34. If it is over then she gets the symptoms back. That's why I was asking FRIEND about the TRH test. It for sure tells you if your thyroid isn't working. Kind of the definitive test for thyroid. I'd ask for that one and then you can know for sure if it is or isn't your thyroid. Tree Frog had that one done and it showed hypothyroidism and they still wouldn't treat her until she demanded a trial medication. Where I am they won't even give you a trial.

JB, Calgary and Toronto that's where I use to be from and most of my family still is. Now, I have lived here in The States for many many years. As I posted before mos. ago. My TSH in is the 2's and I was on thyroid meds for about 6 mos. I was sick as a dog on it. I got worse. We changed the dose all that. We have said thanks. Why don't you go to a doc. in the states sometime and get thoses thyroid meds and try it for your self I have seen that bus loads are take from the states go to Canada for cheeper prices on the same meds sold here. My mother was on thyroid meds for 12 years and then when taken off. She felt much better of the thyroid meds and could keep some weight on went from 95 lbs. to 105. So we here have tried and it was the wrong tree. But, as we Keep saying test it all out.
