Guest guest Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hi I think Sue was aking why her TSH was so low despite not being on meds... . The tsh could be low because the pituary senses that there is enough t3 and t4 in the system... The MCV is high, but this indicates large blood cells which will be inefficient at delivering oxygen, so will make Sue very tired. (one of the mimics of hypothyroidism). Low folate and low B12 can be one of these causes and the doctor is not being particularly helful in refusing to test them. They can be tested at Genova and folate and B12 are easily available. I think if it was me, I would try supplimenting anyway to see if it helps.... . > > Sorry but it's really hard to read the question with all the >> > > what is the actual question please?
