[QUOTE="jingyd36, post: 1124608, member: 283066"] Thank you. My TSH has been rising for a while but my GP kept telling me it was normal. It was 5.35 in the range os 0.35-5.5 back in the summer when I saw him with awful fatigue. In January it rose to 6,54 and last month 7,51. He then rang me and agreed there was a trend and said I was subclinical hypothyroid. He said they don't treat hypothyroidism until the TSH reaches 10 with a low FT4. My FT4 is normal in range. 15.81 in the 12-22 range. So he is dragging his heals but has said he wants to test me again 4-6 weeks after my last test and then if the TSH has risen again even slightly he has a case to treat me. So there is little else I can do at present. I only spoke to him 2 weeks ago. Due to the fatigue it causes me I had to stop working out but recently I am getting back into my yoga and light walking. Today is a bad fatigue day so no exercise, but I can usually exercise every other day but I do feel ill the day after, it kind of makes me crash which I have read is normal with hypothyroidism. My GP says I also have CFS but I think if he treated the thyroid I'd be fine. Thank you :) [/QUOTE]
