Re: Keep Hearing Get your Thyroid Checked Out

I have suspected Thyroid problems for years. But when I tell my GP or Endo the only test I get is a TSH or Super.

Just recently in September I had a number of 0.81, This looks like it is on the very low side of normal looking at the scale minumum being 0.35,

What could I do to raise this this number a bit.

Some say this is common with those who posess Antibodies to GAD65 and 67.

My Lst C-Peptide I produced a 4.0 on scale. Didn't look overly to much but didn't look to be overproducing either.

Apparently thyroid problems are not always easy to diagnose. If you have the symptoms, tell your GP about it and suggest that you try one of the medications to see if you get any relief. I have sent you a PM with another suggestion.
