Bet:...But TSH isn't a thyroid hormone. It's a pituitary hormone. Measuring TSH is only an indirect, second hand way to GUESS at what your actual thyroid hormone levels are.
If you are truly having symptoms of thyroid disease, you need to have your actual thyroid hormones tested. The tests that you need are free T3 and free T4. If your thyroid hormone tests are abnormal, then you need further testing to determine the cause.
