A member asked:

My tsh = .980 uiu/ml. my gp made no mention of it but according to the average range (listed next to my results) this seems very low. true?

TAH not too low: My patients seem to feel best if theTSH is suppressed below 2, but above the lower limit of the normal range which in most labs is 0.45, so 0.98 seems quite good.

What is the normal: range for the lab? call and ask your doctor who has the test results.

Normal range: Is typically listed as the TSH being between 0.4-4.0 mIU/L, and your level falls within that range. You mention under your conditions having hyperthyroidism- are you on medications for this or are you assuming this from this particular result? I'm not sure you can diagnose yourself as this from this one lab test. Do you have specific symptoms?Did they also measure free T3 (liothyronine) and free T4?

Nope, NORMAL: Hi. Look at your normal range again. A TSH of 0.980 is stone-cold normal in any lab in the US, and suggests your thyroid is functioning normally.
