Hi,
There's so much the medication establishment doesn't know yet about the endocrine system. Supposedly a TSH or 5 is quite high. People with high levels should feel cold and tired all of the time. My friend has a TSH of 16 and she has so much energy and is always hot. She was prescribed thyroxin but refuses to take it. She claims it makes her feel worse. OTOH, I've got a TSH in the "normal" range and I'm always cold and have no energy. Go figure. Yes, very frustrating!K
