A member asked:
Hi i just got my tsh levels back and there reading 71.35, my dr. said this is bizzare and must be an error on the labs part he said it's 14 normal?

Not necessarily so.: Normal TSH in SI units is 0.4-6.0. A TSH of 71.35 is quite high but not unusually so in a patient with primary hypothyroidism. You should be experiencing some symptoms of hypothyroidism at this point: fatigue, cold intolerance, weight gain, constipation, dry skin, myalgia, and menstrual irregularities. If your T4 or Free Thyroxine is low then the TSH is not an error......... http://bit.ly/1hKZ4wy
