ok well...for tsh the higher the number..means lower function.
for the t3 or t4s the lower the number the lower the function ..if that makes sense..


sooooo imo many many drs would treat you as hypo.

i suggest getting a free t3 and free t4.
and find a dr who will help you....

like shenacat said the median tsh is 1.5 ish...

but imo the most imp numbers also are the free's



so lets say your tsh is high =hypo
t3 or t4 low along with an elevated tsh=hypo

some drs will treat even if tsh is "normal" but the free's are low...

good luck xoxo jenn
