Noa, I have been reading your various posts about hypothyroidism, and have check out your folder, and a website you recommended. I just wanted to thank you; thanks to the information I got here, when I went to an appointment with my priamry care doc yesterday, i talked to him about how research shows most people feel better with TSH levels between 1 and 2. I thought he'd disregard what i was saying but he said he's read new research on this too and thinks it's a good idea to try to lower my TSH level; he even said to below 1 (which I think is what you said you like). My current TSH level is 3.34 (as of last test in June '00) and I take 88 mcg of Synthroid a day. 3.34, as you know, is in the normal range, but after reading info. here I'm thinking it's a little high. I'm looking forward to seeing if this helps with my depression and lethergy. He drew blood yesterday.
thanks again!
