a good TSH level would be anything below 1. also remember the higher
(lower)
..9, .8., .7, etc... you go you "risk" flipping to a hypER state which can
cause
rapid weight loss, rapid heart beat, excessive sweating, etc.. many
reports/doctors
state so long as you're not having hypER symptoms then it's perfectly okay
for you
to continue to drop your TSH into a range where you no longer have hypO
symptoms.
One of the big ones being the ability to lose weight.

good to see you back and posting again.
