So, in talking with my doctor (who rides a little) told me my levels came in at 54. He told me that anything over a 6 gets his attention and 54 though not off the charts was pretty high. I told him my general feeling of "ugh" has been with me since sometime last summer and maybe with the approaching ride season I could turn in some good times on Strava. He was chuckling a little over that and was telling me that thyroid meds are used in horse racing for an edge. Time will tell but I do look forward to starting meds in the morning.
