You don't have to be on either side of the "normal range" to indicate a problem.

The very definition of normal is indicative of it being for a lack of a better word ''normal.''
Whilst some things aren't good to be high normal or low normal, it's still within accepted range and therefore nothing to worry about too much.
When those figures are elevated out of range substantially you have something to worry about. ie.. 2 weeks ago I had abnormal liver function tests 10x out the accepted range.. that's something to worry about.
The doctor has said they are fine. They are fine. He gains nothing by lying to you.

I have seen this cases scenerio several hundred time
Proper evaluation of adrenals through saliva cortisol test should be conducted as well as proper blood levels of ferritin
This is commonly known as secondary hypothyroid is due to potential low ferritin level or adrenal insufficiency
Not the idea of lying to you intentionally, but properly not as diverse of understanding difference between tissue and serum response in hypothyroid cases. One needs to screw the testing results and listens to the person symptoms instead.

Matrix,
I have taken the 4x saliva test and as a result, my doctor just prescribed HC. My dosing is like this, 8 a.m. 10 mgs, 11:30 10 mgs, 3 p.m. 7.5 mgs, 6:30 p.m. 5 mgs, bedtime 2.5mgs(Total 35mg HC). This is only my second day at this dose so I'm not sure how I feel yet. I've also had really bad constricting pupils and if that does not go away, I may have to look at my aldosterone and possibly start florinef.

After reading more, it's my understanding that adrenals should be addressed first before committing to thyroid. In other words, get my adrenals functioning properly before testing and assessing my thyroid.
Any thoughts?

Proper evaluation and further investigation into why the adrenals are in this condition in the first place is crucial. As noted before, since taking a integrative approach we have not used HC in over 2 years and we have cases where people adrenals where flat lined. When looking further investigation yields extreme inflammation and alterations in the immune system. No wonder the adrenals where not working properly. When you have severe hidden bacterial, and mycoplasms. 35 mgs HC off the bat is absolutely NUTS !! As mentioned before hormones imbalances are an expression of a much deeper cause which needs to be identified. Been doing this long enough to know in majority of cases, HC is just a bandaid effect because Dr's do not look at the over all pics. Medical professionals I have been working with are really starting to see things how all the systems tie and are using less HC in people. Eventually getting away from it all together..

Understood and I would only use this info to seek another opinion if needed.
How is this any different than someone questioning whether or not they should be on TRT if their doctor said they are “fine” and in “normal range” [300 ng/dL (249-836)] but still show all signs of tanked T?

If the doctor said they were fine I would get another opinion. From a different doctor though and I would leave internet message boards out of personal decisions the affect my health.

I just had a case of this week with a Dr.. Same exact situation. Same conclusion.was.drawn
check ferritin levels and adrenals via cortisol saliva
patient was also given nutra eval. Dr was.open minded and things went well now she's getting answer.after close.to 2 years of dealing with traditional.medicine.
