Medication: Normal TSH is around 1-2 or 3. If your lab test is 8.2, your thyroid is not making enough thyroid hormone, or if you are taking medication for the thyroid, your dose isn't enough. Please see your doctor.

Answer 4

It varies: Each lab will have established it's own reference range. Typically, the lower limit of normal is somewhere between 0.2 and 0.5. Treatment is usually recommended for TSH levels below 0.1, and may be recommended in select cases for levels between 0.1 and the lower limit of normal.

Answer 8

It's controversial: There is broad consensus that a TSH between 0.3-2.5 is normal (assuming no pituitary problem exists), and broad consensus that TSH levels above 10 are abnormal and should be treated. A middle-of-the-road approach might be to say that levels between 5-10 are abnormal, and treatment is likely to be beneficial, and that values between 2.5-5 may be abnormal, and that treatment may be beneficial.

Answer 9

Normal TSH Levels: Run between 0.5-5 mIU/L. Remember that TSH is opposite what you would normally think. Low TSH levels mean that you are HYPERthyroid. High TSH levels mean that you are HYPOthyroid. Hope this helps!
