TSH Vary Time Of Day/Results

[Guest guest]

-Hi HD,

I thought I'd repost this in case anyone had any insights. I'd think

an endocrinologist should be able to answer this, too--that's what

we're paying them for! By the way, the normal range for TSH has been

reduced down to 3.

Best wishes,

B.

I had RAI for Grave's 8 years ago.

My question is do most people who are on Armour have high (hypo) TSH

in am before meds and normal TSH from around 2 pm till about 2 am.

I checked mine and it has been as high as 12 (hypo) in am before meds

but down to 2 (normal) by around 4 pm and down as low as .48 by 11

pm. Normal range .40 to 5.

I did some research on the net and it said that TSH does fluctuate by

time of day. If I go any higher on my odse I feel hyper and I am

hyper by the 4 pm mark on.

Anyone know more about this?

I think most people on T3 alone would be hypo in am and normal to

hyper in the pm as they take their dose 3 times a day.

I take mine once in am. SPlitting my dose caused more problems than

it was worth.

Thanks
