I FINALLY found an endocrinologist who agrees that a healthy TSH should be 1-2. Mine is currently 6.1 and my PCP wasn't going to adjust my medications because it was only "slightly" elevated and my Free T4 was in range.
Bad news, though, the endo says that going from 6.1 to 1-2 isn't going to make some of my symptoms go away (hair thinning, lethary, cold, weight issues, joint pain, etc). But she completely agrees that she will prescribe a new dose should my recent bloodwork show the same high result.
I am wondering, has anyone here felt better with a medication change that brought their TSH from the ~6 range to 1-2? I'm hopeful, but was a little disappointed to hear the MD say otherwise.
Thanks!
