what's your tsh? If it's too personal, I don't want to know.

Lucky girl!i'll call the dr's office tomorrow. been taking readings twice a day since i started 10 days ago and am now seeing readings much, much lower. 107/61 this morning compared to 164/88 the first day. that's with a 2.5mg pill once a day. i think my thyroid meds are doing their part![]()

at the er it came in at 53 up from 2.5 in march. all because i had the idiotic notion i could do without my thyroid med for a bit. and my bp went from my usual 120/80 to 198/96 om mother's day which sent me to the er![]()

you mean to say you no longer practice your google-fu?
''TSH stands for thyroid stimulating hormone. normal values are 0.5 to 5.0 mIU/L''

well, you're not alone, neither did i!p.s. sorry for not paying more attention to your thyroid issue.

53???????? Holy High, Batman......no wonder you feel so lousy.....did you get a thyroid antibody test? That's next on my list of things to get done. My T4 is just a bit low, but has been for years and been ignored by my PCP, but now, all of a sudden, he wants to know if I am tired. NO, Doctor, only been telling you that for YEARS! Time for a specialist, I think. Hope yours drops VERY soon...and here i thought the pepper read
