Update: blood work came back today and I’m starting a low dose of thyroid medication and will see Dr next week. TSH WAS 5.43 and my T4 was 1; it’s concerning to her but I don’t understand totally what it all means. I thought high tsh meant hyperthyroid

You need to ask her to explain it to you. I have had thyroid problems since I was in grade school and it can be quite complicated. My dad and maternal grandmother both had problems.

I had Graves Disease/overactive thyroid many years ago. After treatment I had lab tests about once a month for awhile. I think TSH was around 0.1 or 0.2 when diagnosed d. Since it's been normal it's usually around 1-2. Usually the lab results would come with an explanation of what the normal range is

Starting on the lowest dose of thyroid medication tomorrow. Nothing is taken for granted; God plays a part in all things whether we know it or not.

I hope it helps. Just Google. It's opposite.

@jenjabba I have and I’m in between the first and second stages of the disease, but it’s time to manage the symptoms I’m currently experiencing with it; that’s why I’m starting on the lowest dose of thyroid medicine tomorrow morning.

Thanks @Windy Day (Holly), I’m taking it one day at a time; just started the thyroid medication this morning. Dr wants me to use it for 6 weeks, then go see her and get labs done and go from there.
