Re: new to this - Curious Question

Curious about this....is this person really hypo with a TSH of 1.34?? I have a

friend with Raynauds syndrome....her TSH just came back at 1.8...Her doctor told

her she was fine and would not agree to do additional testing. If someone truly

had a RT3 problem...wouldn't their TSH be higher??

This happened to me too. My TSH was 1.570, but my FT4 was .96 (.96-1.7) and FT3

was 3.2. I also had a very low ACTH, 9 (10-60) and 17 cortisol (4-20). My endo

said all was normal going by the TSH.

But after reading on my own and following the advice on a pituitary adrenal

board, I was led to believe that a low FT4 and low ACTH meant I was hypo and

secondary Adrenal insufficiency.

My TSH had gone from 1.0 to 1.3, to 1.570 over a few years.

I also have the main symptoms of hypo: muscle pain, low body temps, dry skin,

weight, depression, as well as many others.

So TSH is not an indicator for me either.
