Can you be treated, even if your test results aren't abnormal?

[aggie1991]

For the past four years my doctor has tested my thyroid using TSH with reflex t4.  My levels have come back borderline low each time.  My last result was 0.48.  I have been experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, lightheadeness, diahrea, inability to loose weight, blurry vision and fatigue for over four years.  I would like to try medication and see if it will help.  Can you be treated, even in your test results aren't abnormal?  

I also have family members with thyroid issues- Grandfather and cousins

Any help on what I should do would be greatly appreciated.  Thank You

Just thought, lots of sites are for becoming pregnant. Dr Broda Barnes is the one you need to look up

You can find sites on the net if you search basal body temperature. Differing opinions as to how many days you take your temperature, some say 3 some more. I think it has been used a very long time and is still an indicator used by many therapists.

Thanks for your response. The .48 is the results from a TSH with reflex t4 test.  Could you explain to me why to check my body temperature.  Thanks

Not clear what you were reporting.  Was that .48 supposed to be TSH?  Have you ever checked your temperature as another indicator.  To do so, check several times a day, for several days so you can get a good average value and compare to reported normal of 98.6. With all your symptoms and your family history, I would certainly recommend more testing /info.
