> That's so interesting! You can actually tell the difference when your TSH is 1.0 or lower? It might be really worthwhile to get it down to 0.5 or thereabouts and see how you feel at that level.
Yeah, I can really tell, and I am genuinely more "cheerful" at this level.
I think it does help anxiety, just because your brain levels of neurotransmitters can become more healthily balanced if your whole body has that extra oomph. Plus, the extra energy allows me to take care of things that procrastinating on would cause a negative effect on my life!
I've recently switched gp's, as my old one would smile when I told her about my low thyroid symptoms (muscle pain while walking, etc.), and I think she just overall did not respect my perceptions. I have a good impression of the new guy; I'll try him out.
