A couple months ago I went to the doctor and he did a thyroid test. My TSH was normal, but my T4 was slightly low. He said, lower end of normal range.
Anyway, the test was repeated last week again and it came back the same. He talked to some colleagues during their medical rounds and got mixed opinions on what to do. Some felt that it was a lab error (but that would be 2 lab errors in a row for 2 separate tests. Not really likely). He figures I'm on my way to being hypothyroid and have just caught it on it's decline. I told him that I am symptomatic of hypothyroidism. He prescribed the lowest dose of L-Thyroxin (25 micrograms) to see if that helps me. And I'll have another test in a few months.
