Re: New Please Help Thanks- TSH

[Guest guest]

Hey Rick,

Now that I'm not quite as pressed for time, the information about the

American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists revised stance

regarding TSH levels can be found here:

http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles/aacereversal.htm

As our group moderator Phil would say, TSH isn't all that reliable- it

doesn't tell you actual thyroid function. Dr. Romeo no, a

neuroendocrinologist in Monterey, notes that sometimes (often?) the

pituitary miscalculates the need for further thyroid stimulation, such

that TSH can appear within the reference range while symptoms of

hypothyroidism persist.

Better indications of thyroid activity include total T4 & T3, as well

as free T4 & T3

(http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/tsh-why-its-useless/) .

Reverse T3 might also be helpful to determine how much T3 can actually

bind to cells.
