I would say these are basically mid range...and could go higher if you're

still having symptoms.

I really don't know. I've thought about it a lot. I think maybe it's their

training. That a TSH thyroid test is the ONLY way to determine hypo...and

they just don't use their brains. Maybe they are worried they'll be liable if

the TSH isn't over the MAGICAL number that they'll be sued if they give thyroid

meds. It's really all a mystery to me.
