I finally got a copy of my test results today but I feel really stupid and need some advice on if my numbers are truly ok (my brains fogged and elsewhere because I just had to put my beloved hamster down due to a tumor in the jaw...same thing mom died from..but that's off topic sorry
)
TSH says 3rd generation (no clue what that means) and it says it's in range at 2.67. It also says " > or = 20 years 0.40-4.50"
T4, Free says in range 1.1 and reference range 0.8-1.8 ng/dL
All the letters and numbers have my eyeballs spinning. I've read that those with a TSH value over 2.0 may develop hypothyroidism in the future and should be followed very closely by a doctor. It runs in my family and I've got a lot of things that are all symptoms of hypothyroidism (looked at a whole bunch of sites and symptoms lists). Should I leave it be and forget it since they say I'm "fine"?
