How about everyone else's thyroid? >> scuttlebutt says a TSH over 2 is suspect...even though a result up to about 5 is considered normal...look at your #...these ranges of normal were developed within an " average population " of normal people...guess what? many researchers say these ranges are also suspect because too many people have a sub-clinical undiagnosed hypothyroidism...so the ranges are set way to high...B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 28, 1999 Report Share Posted October 28, 1999 , I have a goiter, and have had it since age of 16. They did a scan (sort of like an x-ray) to confirm it. my mother and sister also have it. But it was what they called " un-active " until my third child was born. Then it enlarged and I was tested, TSH, T-3, and T-4, and I have been on Synthroid ever since, 12 years now. So it yours is enlarged by sight, what did they say it was if your blood tests were normal? I was thinking you need to re-test.
