HypoThyroidism query. Please answer if somebody knows about it.?


My primary care physician she found out that I've hypothyroidism 3 years back and range for "Highly Sensitive TSH" was below 0.350, whereas normal range is 0.350 -- 5.500 uiu/mL now, my recent test shows 9.400. So, I don't understand if its hypo or hyper? Does anyone faces same kind experince. I've to see the doctor but can't appointment before monday and I'm very curious.

Hypo is underactive, Hyper is overactive.Hypothryroidism occurs when the thyroid stops or makes very little thyroid hormones.
In Hypothyroidism, the body can experience side effects such as:
Hair loss, excess in facial hair, fatigue, weight gain, intolerance to cold or hot, mitral valve prolapse, depression, infertility,goiter,e.t.c.
The thyroid gland is a very important gland for it plays a role in almost every glandular function.
Hyper is a condition where the thyroid makes too much thryoid hormones and carries its own side effects, which can be life threatening if the condition is left untreated.

Above 5.5 is hypo and under .350 is hyper.

THE TYROID GLAND CAN SHOW DIFFERENT RESULTS AT TIMES.

There is a book that you can find on amazon.com called "How I reversed my hashimoto's thyroiditis hypothyroidism" It has some natural cures in it. He explains all of those numbers in it.

For about a year, my TSH tested VERY LOW and VERY HIGH. It was affecting me with symptoms of both hyper and hypo thryroidism. The cause was a drastic change in diet when I moved from one province to the other. My mother had the same thing when she started menopause. I also have a goiter.

I was able to control mine by taking multi-vitamins and a high protein diet, my mother did a similar process, but she still ended up on thinthryoid - how ever you spell it.

Wish I could be more help, sorry. But yes, I've had the same experience. I was told I was neither, that I just had "partial thyroid disfunction" - i couldn't be classified as hyper or hypo because I was "both".
