Hi all,
I've been unwell for sometime and was regularly posting her previously. My TSH has previously always been in normal range, ranging for 1.0 to 4.0. No matter the level I always felt crap. I also tried various thyroid meds and also felt no benefit.
TSH had today come back at 8.6. I know it's common for people to take thyroid here on an ongoing basis but in my mind if I can have healthy thyroid function naturally, I would. At this level I'm assuming the consensus would be that I should definitely be on thyroid meds (although they don't prescribe it her until TSH over 10). I have cynoplus etc in my cupboard so I'm ok there.
My question is, can thyroid function be recovered if I go onto thyroid meds for consistent period of time? Say I took it for two years and my health improved overall, could I possibly come off the meds and have normal thyroid function again?
