At my dr's appointment last week, she gave me a copy of test results for the endo I will be seeing next Monday.

I noted the following:

TSH Test Results 'Normal' 0,05-4,2 --- Healthier target* 0,5-2,0

02/99 ---> 3,8 --- 03/02 ---> 4,38 --- 09/02 ---> 4,82

Free T4 Test Results 'Normal' 13,0-23,0 --- Healthier target* >20,0

02/99 ---> ? --- 03/02 ---> 17,5 --- 09/02 ---> 15,6

I believe these #s indicate a sub-clinical hypo, especially after listing all the symptoms I can relate to in the Thyroïd Info sticky posted by Jeanner! Thank you Jeanner great job

A few questions to you guys in the know/experienced with hypothyroïd:
1. Did your #s have to be much higher/lower (than say TSH >10,0) to be considered serious enough for treatment?
2. In a case of sub-clinical hypo (TSH <10,0), what meds were prescribed if any?
3. Did your endo aim for healthier numbers (* above).
(see article defining 'Normal' TSH )

I wish to be prepared for next Monday - and get out of the on again/off again funk of the last few years. Seems the endo is excellent, from what I read about her on the internet.

TIA
