I disagree also. I just went to a new endo today and kept getting almost attacked because I was blaming lack of energy, hair falling out, and other issues on my thyroid. He just kept telling me to stop blaming everything on the thyroid since my levels never get above 5. Then in the end, he told me his goal was to have me around 1. ummmmmm...what's the point if I don't technically have hypothyroid symptoms now??? Makes no sense!
But I'm sorry...there are some people who are very sensitive to TSH and feel things much earlier than other people. Then there are people who can have a TSH of 20 and feel fine. Go based on how you feel symptom wise and not strickly by the numbers. That's my motto!
