a question...I thought " subclinical hypo " was when you had abnormal labs but

no hypo symptoms. Am I wrong?

LOL symptoms? why would a doctor care about symtoms?

I know the dr. I just left could have cared less about symptoms - or borderline

abnormal TSH or T3's or T4's !!

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought that what you are referring to is called

Euthyroid?

Ok, but we must tell the truth, of the way we feel, and all the crap that has

happened to us on acct of doctors who do not know anything about the field of

Thyroid, but claim to.

Somebody else define here, too, but I believe that having the symptoms, with the

labs looking " normal " (Doctor Style), is what they call subclinical?

While screening patients for thyroid disease, physicians often find increased

thyrotropin-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels in patients whose free thyroxine

(T4) levels are not below normal. This state, termed " subclinical

hypothyroidism, " is most commonly an early stage of hypothyroidism. Although the

condition may resolve or remain unchanged, within a few years in some patients,

overt hypothyroidism develops, with low free T4 levels as well as a raised TSH

level. The likelihood that this will happen increases with greater TSH

elevations and detectable antithyroid antibodies. Because patients with

subclinical hypothyroidism sometimes have subtle hypothyroid symptoms and may

have mild abnormalities of serum lipoproteins and cardiac function, patients

with definite and persistent TSH elevation should be considered for thyroid

treatment. Levothyroxine, in a dosage that maintains serum TSH levels within the

normal range, is the preferred therapy in these patients

Somebody else define here, too, but I believe that having the symptoms, with

the labs looking " normal " (Doctor Style), is what they call subclinical?
