[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 43010, member: 1436"] Pamela--I'm not real sure---everything I've read said that ideal TSH is .50-5.50. I am taking Levothyroxine (generic synthroid) 100 mcg. The doctor explained to me that high TSH levels show that the thyroid is working harder to produce T3 and T4 hormones and the hypothalamus then reads the levels and produces more TSH. This is all new to me. My symptoms were joint pain, depression, and dry skin and hair---no weight gain. I had actually been losing weight and apparently on the medications I will lose a few more pounds. I am by no means overweight---I'm 5'4" and 135 lbs. [/QUOTE]
