Well I am in the beginning of thyroid treatment with Synthroid(not my number one option but I'm willing to give it a shot). After a year of my thyroid testing in the low range of normal, my doctor finally decided to try thyroid treatment. My psychiatrist actually said that people are treated with thyroid meds like Cytomel to get their thyroid in the upper part of normal range to see if it helps lift them out of depression.
If thyroid treatment helps me feel a lot better and relieves many of my symptoms-fatigue, cold sensation, headache, raspy voice, and muscle aches/stiffness-this is one example of treating something even when it is normal range.
On a side note, I have been taking Holy Basil(New Chapter's brand) the last few days and wow I think I feel much better. It could be that Synthroid is starting to help but I really think I have noticed a difference with holy basil. Just wanted to throw that out there for anyone wanting to try something new to add to their cocktail.
