A 45-year-old female asked:

What does it take for an endocrinologist to decide if armour is suitable for subclinical hypo- thyroidism? if test results are all in "normal" range.

He/she will not: Armour brand dessicated thyroid is no longer the first choice of real thyroidologists to treat hypothyroidism. Be weary of anyone foisting it on you. See a real thyroidologist to find out if you really need any replacement for subclinical hypothyroidism.

Subclinical hypo..: Subclinical hypothyroidism occurs when peripheral thyroid hormone levels are within normal reference laboratory range but serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels are mildly elevated. If all test results are normal then it does not sound like subclinical hypothyroidism.

A 23-year-old female asked:
I have seen many endocrinologists and none of them know what is wrong. My thyroid levels are normal except for one level, the thyroglobulin level. Instead of 40, it is always 80-100 and no one knows why. I have symptoms and I need to figure it out.
