I have been hypo for years.  I had my thyroid retested about a week ago and the Dr. said everything was fine.  Today I got a call from the nurse who said that the Dr. wanted to make an appointment to go over my thyroid sensitive test results.  She told me my thyroid was a little low.  When I ask her the numbers she told me it was 28.48.    If that is my TSH then my numbers aren't low but high.  I got the idea that this was a new nurse and she didn't really know what was going on.  I can't get in to see the Dr. for 3 weeks. 

My question is have you ever heard of the thyroid sensitive?(nurses words)  Are the recommended levels different with this test?

 I think maybe she is confusing Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)  with senstiive instead of stimulating.  Yes, 28.48 is high.  I would give them a call back and see if they can fax you the results. You might also see if you can speak with a different nurse and get some clarification. The person you spoke with might not have actually been a nurse, but office staff.  Good luck!!!

Thank you, My daughter has an appointment today so I am going to ask for a copy of my test results. I like to have them for my records anyway.

Could she have been talking about thyroid antibodies?

That may be it.  It is the numbers that are concerning me.  I am going to ask for a copy of the results today.  Thank you.
