Re: mary shomon book

Hi there! A TSH of 3 is still borderline hypo.

This summer the new reference ranges for " normal " TSH came out. It's 0.3 to

3.0.

This is according to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists.

Many doctors are not aware of this, and many labs still don't have the current

reference ranges listed.

Here's a link. You can print it out and take it to your doctor.

Good luck. Sheila
