Most medical providers have been trained to only check the TSH when monitoring thyroid function.
But is the TSH enough to test your thyroid? Is it enough to monitor whether you are on the right dose or right type of thyroid medication?
The answer is a definite "no" and I will explain why in this article...
Is it dangerous to have a suppressed TSH level lower than the "normal" range?
Does a low TSH increase the risk for osteoporosis or heart problems?
Are there situations when having a suppressed TSH is not only safe but helpful?
Are there things that can be done to avoid the potential negative side effects of a low TSH?
I will try to answer these questions and others in this article...
