Suppressed TSH?

[Guest guest]

I've seen several people mention suppressed TSH - can someone explain

this to me?

I am honestly very confused... have been hypo for the past 20+ years

(since age 11 or 12) and have been to so many different docs. I

frequently don't feel the symtoms when I am hypo, I think largely

because I learned to ignore them from a young age since the docs told

me " take this pill and you'll be fine " . It's usually the weight gain

that clues me in that something is up.

I know people here are not endo fans, but I had switched to an endo in

April, who told me that having a low TSH (below 0.5) can contribute to

bone loss and loss of muscle mass. He took my off of the Armour and

left me on 0.2mg of Levoxyl, but now I am definitely hypo (don't have

my lab numbers wtih me or I would post them...) I did feel better when

on 0.2mg of Levoxyl and 90 of Armour, but certainly don't want to

sacrifice my health. he did a bone scan and it showed and 14% loss of

bone in my spine, so that freaked me out a bit.

Just trying to gather a little more information to make an informed

decision...

Thanks!
