I’ve had so many people ask me this question, and I always say no, not always!
My physician said I was fine and my TSH was in the normal range even though I was on medication and symptoms still existed.
Most doctors refer to an antiquated diagnosis format. Often they will only test 3-4 scores to determine whether your thyroid is healthy. This article dives into why it is so important to have a full panel done to determine if your thyroid is under attack. Although your scores may reflect “normal” levels, the antibodies and several other tests must be included and, most importantly, interpreted correctly. I’ve been following this site for some time now, The Hypothyroid Mom, and have suggested her site to several ladies who were struggling to become pregnant. Her articles might help you find a way. This lady has been through a lot and is most helpful. Read this article to learn more.
I'm Melinda Stevens and living the life of a beach bum was inevitable since my father was a lifeguard for the city of Los Angeles. My memories of growing up on John Street in Manhattan Beach, California were filled with joy, excitement and adventures; until my world, as I knew it, fell apart when we moved to Del Mar, California. My father was offered the position as Captain of the lifeguards and we started the slow migration to the small deserted stretch of beach in 1963. At twelve years old, this seemed like the end of my life. Remember, I’m writing with clear hindsight now, ok somewhat clearer… Little did I know this would be the beginning of a new journey and give a bit more clarity to many of the events that led me to this new cooking adventure.
