@chickenfarmer You are confused by the terms and are confusing others trying to make sense of what you are saying. As I replied about six posts up, hypo means low, hyper means high, and in the case of thyroidism, the low means low production of TSH and hyper means too much of the hormone is produced and therefore the gland is hyperactive.

@gloaming I see what she means though because on the numbers when you get your blood work lower the number that means you’re hyper and if your number is higher like mine used to sit near 5.5 to 6 I was hypo I think she’s just saying it’s the wrong way or it’s being misinterpreted
