A tsh test was ordered by my va provider.The test resulted in my synthroid rx being reduced.The tsh was below detectable limits.This is the second test showing such a result.I stopped taking biotin to be sure this was not the problem.It is not.I have been told of others being taken completely off their thyroid medication based on these tests since 2015.Thyroids do not miraculously heal, unless it is medication driven.I take no other rx.My hyperthyroid symptoms have returned, this generation of tsh is appropriate for screening, but not for clinical evaluation of on-going thyroid replacement management.I am enclosing only approximate dates of testing.Two consecutive test below the detectable limit.My previous dosage of synthroid was "adjusted" in 2011.They thyroid hormone does not improve with menopause, it worsens.Therefore, i conclude with my symptoms, these tests are inadequate for medication adjustment.Two different laboratories.Fda safety report id # (b)(4).
