What Does 0.01 Trace Of Thyroid In Blood Test Indicate?
Just received a call from doctor s office with my blood tests results for thyroid.The office gal said my thyroid is .01 (didn t explain further) and said the doctor wanted me to get off of my thyroid supplements ( taking natural bovine 2 grains) as I have too much thyroid. It did not make sense to me. Can you explain? Thank you, Donna
Hi It's probably your serum TSH level that is getting lower. It means you have taken excess of thyroid hormone exogenously and you need to stop medication to normalize its levels. Thank you for contacting HCM
