> As my doctor told me, we can measure thyroid in the blood but we cannot measure how much of it is being received by the receptors. Are they blocked? Are they working? Sometimes we need more than we think to get past biochemical roadblocks that we can't see and can't measure, except for the outward symptoms that are obvious.
I agree with the above. When I was hypothyroid I had a TSH of 10 which of course was high. But I only felt better with med therapy once I was in the hyperthyroid level. My blood levels now show that I am hyperthyroid, but I show no symptoms of being hyperthyroid. For me, that's where my TSH is supposed to be.
