Thyroid

In 2006 I had blood drawn, and my TSH level was 2.80.The OLD level was 0.5-5.0
the NEW level changed after 2003 is 0.3-3.0. So I was told your level is almost perfect, based on the OLD levels. In fact my TSH is high, Which means that I have LOW THYROID!!!!! I’m checking it out again at the end of the month.Every symptom I suffered with is related to LOW THYROID. Even fibermyalga. I’ll let you know how it goes. GOOD LUCK.

    As a child I was always being told off for being a daydreamer, I would have times when the daydreaming would mean I did not know what was going on around me, it would not last long and was just put down to being me. [more..]
