> Well, I looked up my TSH. in Dec 04 is was l.39, May of 02 it was 2.17, April 02 2.88, March 01 2.30. and May 2000 4.60. The T4 in Dec 04 was 9.4.Normal ranges for TSH are 0.35-5.50 and T4 4.5-l0.9. I wonder why my TSH keeps going down? Fondly,Phillipa

A lot of things affect your TSH level. Your TSH is lower in the morning, so when you have your blood test can make a difference. Your hormones can affect it. Now 5.50 is considered too high and most endos like to see a reading between 2-3. At least you are having the proper blood tests done. I think you are in good hands.

I think I will tell me endo that my doctor wants me to have ECT and I would really like him to help me by checking that everything is okay with my hormones etc. before I consent to having ECT (which I won't). Maybe it will boost his ego. He can "save" me.

God this is so f*cked up.
