Ray,

I was wondering if you might have some insight into a condition that two different people have brought up to me recently. It relates to thyroid problems. Both people have high TSh levels and their doctors have told them that they are hypothyroid and yet their symptoms are more like those of people who are hyperthyroid. One of these people is Simus who has posted on this thread quite a bit and has gone into more detail on her situation in those posts. The other is my neighbor. She had been taking Armour Thyroid but discontinued it a few months ago. She feels great. She has lots of energy, her concentration is fine and she is always hot when I'm cold. If anything she acts hyper, not hypo. She got a TSH and some other tests recently and her level was 21. As opposed to Simus, she tested positive for Hashimotos. Why isn't she feeling awful with a TSH level that high? She and Simus are both wondering if their problem might have more to do with their pituitary (although I don't see how that could be given the thyroid antibodies in my neighbor's case). Do you have any insights here? If so, they'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kara
