when it comes to the level of hormone in the thyroid. Again, I am no doctor, but I have learned in my research that there is a range of normal for the level of hormone in the thyroid. There is a high end of normal and a low end and so on. It is kind of like normal body weight. There is an ideal but there is also normal. If you are, say, 5 lbs over or 5 lbs under your ideal body weight, your doc may say that your weight is still normal. I have found that when the level of thyroid is changed even within the normal range, the CHs go away, and the level is still considered "normal". I can't argue with your doc, by any means, but if slightly altering the thyroid hormone makes the CHs go away..........Need I say more?? Best of luck!!!
