Had Thyroid checked a while ago

Posted by MoparFan91 on September 11, 2005, at 15:51:40

I'm 21 years old male and have Bipolar-NOS ultra rapid cycling.

Earlier this year, I saw a doctor who practices integrative medicine, and she did a super panel test that tested my thyroid. It tested my T4, T3, and TSH levels.

The results were the following. I can't remember the exact numbers, though but I can remember the ranges:

T4: High end of normal range
T3: High end of normal range

T4 to T3 conversion was fine

TSH: 2.13

Now, on to the TSH. I read somewhere on here and on another site that any TSH above 2.0 basically means that your thyroid gland is going bad according to very recent research by experts. I also read that people feel best at TSH 1.0 especially those with mood disorders.

Any truth to these?

Should I start asking my doctor about Thyroid replacement hormones?

Overall, are there any concerns and worries about those aformentioned test results?
