[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 142197, member: 15043"] Ya if that TSH is correct, you’re full blown hypothyroid. You want TSH to be well below 2.5. Ideally 0.5-2.0. 5.7 is very high. I agree with everyone. Need to get repeat labs to rule out lab errors. Need to get a full thyroid panel. And if your TSH is correct, you absolutely need medication. But the one you’re prescribed isn’t the best. Very little success with synthetic T4 only medications. Depending on your T4 to T3 conversion, and RT3, you might need straight T3 without any T4. If conversion is good, and RT3 is within range, a natural desiccated thyroid supplement would be the ideal plan of action. [/QUOTE]
