Guest guest Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Unbelievable! This TSH of 10 thing makes me furious. I think that before somebody is allowed to write such tosh, they should be forced to take enough thyroid blocking drugs to make their TSH reach 10, and then see how they feel about writing these guidelines (if they can of course - the brain fog should have set in nicely by then!).

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Its no wonder the powers that be insist that T4 therapy is the ONLY treatment that is required. Look at the costs - peanuts compared to T3 or Armour. 84 x 100mcg tablets only costs the NHS £4.08. And dont get me started on the " TSH <10 is normal " fiasco !!! Isnt there a contradiction in there? They suggest that you only consider treatment if TSH >10, BUT the aim is to reduce TSH to 4.5 or less. Not that I'm in a cynical mood or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
