Dear Elaine,

Thanks for your reply. I will look out for any hypo symptom and get a bloodwork done if I can. I hope my endo will allow me to be tested earlier. My previous doctor was reluctant to test me even though I complained of very bad constipation and extreme cold. After a few months when the result came back, he also refused to reduce the dosage. And I naively agreed. Sometimes doctors are not always right. It is impt that we know more abt our disease and correct the doctor if necessary.

Come to my question. Does TSH rises later in the day? My blood test is always taken in the morning around 9am. However the most recent one I took is at 6pm. Will the differences in timing affect the TSH level? If yes, I will try to take my blood test every morning rather than doing it different times of the day. I'm also very surprised that my TSH has increased from 0.9 to 1.47. My endo is also doing a TSI test to chk the latest level. I will keep you posted. Jane =P

Hi Jane,

TSH does have a diurnal variation. The highest levels occur during the night while we're sleeping. Levels then start to fall with the lowest levels seen around noon. It's a good idea to always have your levels drawn around the same time of the day.

It could be that your TSI level has fallen and that too would cause a rise in TSH as you move toward remission. Best, Elaine
