The TSH is worthless as an indicator of thyroid health/function no matter what you are on for meds. It is a pituitary test! But all the main stream docs go by it. Hard to find one who will be open minded but worth any effort you have to go through to get a doc who will learn and listen....it's your life.

Hi Val,I'm taking 25 mcg Cytomel twice a day along with Cortef, 10 mgs. I feel absolutely perfect on it. Not hypo, not hyper, just perfect. But at my last lab test my TSH was 10 something.My regular nurse practitioner went on vacation and the jerk doctor is trying to mess with the Cytomel dose and put me on Synthroid, which doesn't work for me.He demanded that I have another test in 11 days. I was just researching and I read somewhere that you have to stop taking the Cytomel for ten days to get it out of your system.Would you recommend doing that?Also do you have any med research that tells about the tsh results being worthless while on Cytomel?I'm getting so worried that he will mess with my dose. He should read the Hypocratic Oath.Thanks for your help,Pam

TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone and it is a pituitary hormone.
