The reason why this information is so important is that thyroid replacement hormone is the most prescribed pill in this country with 115 million prescriptions. There are also many subclinical thyroid dysfunction cases that have gone undiagnosed. This means that even though the thyroid levels are within the “normal” range, the symptoms show a deficiency, which is common.
Thyroid dysfunction difficult to diagnose correctlyThyroid issues are hard to diagnose without the proper tests because it is the great pretender. It behaves like other problems, like depression, adrenal insufficiency, chronic fatigue syndrome, high cholesterol problems, high blood pressure, etc.
The other problem is that the testing is usually restricted to the levels of TSH or thyroid stimulating hormone. Your pituitary sends TSH to your thyroid telling it your bloodstream needs more thyroid hormone. This process elevates concentration of it your bloodstream. So, if your TSH gets really high, your thyroid is not doing its job.
The problem is over 20 years ago, the standards changed but yet many labs did not change their “normal” standards. With the new standards, if your TSH is above 2 mcg/dl, then it is likely there is some functional issue with your thyroid. The old levels showed 4.5 to 5.5 mcg/dl as acceptable. It is mostly not.
A better diagnosis is done with more detailed tests of T3, T4 and thyroid antibody levels. They should run mid range of the normal values. If you are suffering from the following symptoms, it is time to get your thyroid checked. Especially if you are a woman and have had children. Pregnancy can affect your thyroid.
