Hyperthyroid??? Thanks.

How low is too low?  What level should we stay within for thyroid...when does the "pre" such-and-such become a factor?  Thank you!

It's low normal, but right where most doctors would like to see you.

That is why I asked what other tests were run and what the results were.

A TSH of 0.91 does not indicate hyperthyroid.

And nothing about thyroid disease is "all that simple".

There are diagnose ranges and different ones for hyper and different ones for hypo.
Then, there are different ranges for different thyroid conditions.

Then, there is target rages for already diagnosed and treated patients, as mentioned above by ar-10
Then, there are different ranges for different thyroid conditions, such as thyroid cancer or nodules.

Then on top of all that, ranges will very from Lab to Lab, town/county to town/county, state to state and country to country, etc. etc. etc.

Its not all that simple as "The range is 0.5 to 5.0 or 0.45 to 3.5 or some such."

A TSH of .91 is perfect.

The range is 0.5 to 5.0 or 0.45 to 3.5 or some such.

Your's is right where any doctor would like to see it.

Have you had other tests and what were they?
