[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 33051, member: 696"] OK, good to know on the other labs. That eases some of the concern with the pituitary. There's a myriad of factors that can lead to the elevated TSH. Honestly, sometimes it's just as simple as getting adequate iodine and selenium supplemented. At one point early on with my treatments, my thyroid hormone level was actually pretty good, but TSH was hovering over 4.00. I started adding 225mcg/day of Kelp and a small amount of selenium, my numbers were mid 2's in no time. Yes, it was as simple as that. That's just one example, but YES, autoimmune can play a role, or other factors that tap into hypothyroidism. I suggest getting all the labs so that you don't have to second guess any of it. If there are imbalances with FT4 and/or FT3, and/or FT3/RT3 ratios are not where they should be, then it will require further investigation with other attributed labs, i.e., cortisol, iron/ferritin, D3, electrolytes, and possibly a few others. For now, without getting wound up in the speculation, you might get the answers you need just with the thyroid labs. Check it out, let us know ... [/QUOTE]
