VERY high TSH - Interested in range information

[sdp1988]

I am having trouble finding out range information on the net regarding TSH levels.  I have taken synthoid for several years and occasionally have to adjust the dosage.  I know what a level TSH is but at one point had a level of 32.5 - which was treated by adjusting the dosage.  However, due to recent HORRIBLE symptons, knew I needed to have it checked again (3 months earlier than my scheduled check).  It was at 85.8 which scares me to death after doing what little research I have.  I have been looking for ranges and what effects they may have on me at certain ranges (other than the obvious ones I have been feeling).  Last, how high can a TSH be and how close am I to it?

please take your meds. i am NOT a dr but i was told at 12 i had hypo. i did have the radiation treatment to kill the thyroid.  i got preg at 16 and yes stay on meds cause being preg will take even more from your body and cause you to feel worse than you do now i am 34 and hadnt taken my meds for 2 months i went to the dr today and my level was over 300. i explained how i had been feeling lately as headache dizziness like im gonna pass out irritable aggervated all the time depressed and naseated. tired and weak. she told me i could go into coma from it being that off i had pausing between my words when talking and that showed her that my body was trying to shut down. started back on 150mcg levoxyl (generic) and can already tell slight diff. so please keep up with your med dr apts esp if trying to have a child. i have 3 ages 17 15 and 12. took my meds when preg. they sofar have no problems. good luck..

I am having the exact same symptoms...I had my thyroid removed on Oct 9th started my synthroid Oct 15th...was fine up until Nov.17th..then it was awful..constant all day anxiety attacks..pounding heart,chest pain,nausea,vomiting,diarrhea, shakey, hot one minute,freezing the next, muscle twitches..thought I was dying. finally last night Nov 28th went to ER..was told my TSH was 19.4 , called my endo doc and she said that meant I was hypo...confused because all my symptoms point to hyper. She is ordering some special hormone test tomorrow..I will let you know what it is and what happens..if you find and an answer before me I would love to hear it. Thank you

This is a very old thread and your situation would get much more attention if you start your own thread.  You can do that by clicking the orange "Post a Question" button at the top of this page, type your question(s), then click the green "Post a Comment" button.

If your TSH is 94.7, I would imagine that you feel very hypo - your next step would be to visit your doctor and get on thyroid replacement medication.
