MY Journey just gets better all the time

I got my lab results back today and I am jumping for joy.
Everything is well within normal ranges.
My pcp did write the following:

Your labs look fine and so do you!
The TSH is slightly elevated, not enough to treat,but I suggest another TSH in 3 months to note trend.

I looked up what TSH is come to fine out it is my thiroid.
I have read other post where some have trouble with this more info about TSH would be helpful.

Annie, can't advise you on your test results.  My PCP was very concerned and included the thyroid in my blood work last week also.  I have my appt with the surgeon next week and he will go over the results with me then. 

Just wanted to let you know I am also jumping for joy for your success.          

Carrie,
Did I miss something?
Are you having some kind of surgery?
                         Annie

No. It is just my annual check up with the surgeon.

Good Luck I am sure he will be happy with you.

congrats Annie! More rewards of your hard work!

Hey Annie,

I'm new to OH, but not to TSH!  When TSH is elevated, you may be going hypothyroid.  Look this disorder up on webmd, please, and find a list of the symptoms.  These may include (but are NOT limited to):

Weight gain
Dry/brittle hair
Brittle nails
Fatigue
Heart palpitations

Treatment for hypothyroidism is pretty simple, but it will be another (cheap, generic) pill to take for the rest of your life, if you're diagnosed.  Primarily, watch your energy levels.  If they start dropping significantly, tell your doctor that you're concerned your elevated TSH and its relation to your energy levels.

Slight elevations in your TSH don't mean you're automatically hypo, by the way.  It is, however, something to watch.
