subclinical hypothyroidism

June 1, 2004

Subclinical is having a TSH range up to 10, but all other labs within

the normal range. Subclinical patients can have some symptoms or none.

This range of up to 10 may have changed recently since the TSH range

has changed, but I am classified as subclinical. Generally, doctors

will treat if there are symptoms. In my case, I had a slew and many

for years previous to my TSH climbing that waxed and waned (some

remained constant - cold hands and feet). After reading Cindi's

article on labs meaning nothing when antibodies are involved,

validates my symptoms in the past with the presence of a " NORMAL " tsh.

I am sure my antibodies back then were still quite high. I can't

imagine that I just dreamed up all the symptoms before babies and my

antibodies went from 0 - over 1000 within 2+ years.

P.S. I was talking to my uncle yesterday, and he said he remembers me

being an emotional mess when I was 11 and covered in hives (which he

said was from stress). We were talking about how dysfunction our

childhood was. When he mentioned the hives, I remember some of you

saying that hives were a symptom of Hashi's - HUM!
