Normal TSH, Still Feel Awful? Here’s What Your Doctor Missed
You’ve done the labs. You’ve listed the symptoms. And you’ve been told “everything looks normal.”
So why do you still feel exhausted, foggy, and not like yourself?
Here's what's really happening: You're caught in the gap between being healthy and being sick enough to matter to our medical system.
Your thyroid function may be declining, your immune system may be mounting an attack against your own tissue, but because you haven't crossed the arbitrary threshold that triggers a diagnosis, your very real suffering gets dismissed.
In this episode of the Medical Disruptor, I break down why TSH-only testing misses up to 60% of thyroid dysfunction, how Hashimoto's can progress for 7-10 years before showing up on standard labs, and why your symptoms aren't "just stress" or "just aging"—they're your body providing crucial information about autoimmune processes that conventional medicine isn't looking for.
Because you’re not fine—you’re just not sick enough for their checklist.
