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.

rk, t1



Sounds to me I want to by hyper. I am all for quick weight loss. After our
last conversation I started taking a higher dose of the Synthroid in hopes
my hair would stop falling out and I would have more energy. Didn't work and
now out of the med and will have to pay full price for more. I just want to
feel good again Reisa. It has been such a long time. But I aim to make that
happen. I live in hope anyways.
