According to the lab sheet print out from my internist's office, normal TSH values run between 0.4 and 5. There does appear to be much controversy over what these "normal" values are as they do vary slightly depending upon where you are researching this info.

No, it is not normal. As the above poster state every lab determines its own normal range and so there will be some variation in exactly where the cut off will be. However, 9.6 will be listed as abnormally high from any lab. The TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) is the brain's signal to control how much hormone the thyroid puts out so a high level implies low thyroid function (the brain is asking for more).

Interestingly, while every lab would list that as abnormal, and most doctors would give thyroid hormone in response, studies suggest that most people do not feel symptoms or benefit from treatment until it is above 10.

The pituitary gland hangs from a stalk from the inferior surface of the hypothalamus of the brain.

Graves' Disease.

It is the most common cause of Hyperthyrodism and Goiter.

Graves' Disease causes toxic Goiter which than ]will present with symptoms of thyrotoxicosis such as palpitations, hyperactivity, weight loss despite increased appetite, and heat intolerance.

The pancreas.
The pancreas is a gland organ in the digestive and endocrine system of vertebrates. It produces insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin which regulate blood sugar
The pancreas. beta cells secrete insulin which decreases blood glucose. and alpha cells secrete glucagon that increase glucagon.

Because muscles can not push, they can only pull (contract). So while your biceps contract to pull the arm up into a flexed position; the triceps are necessary to pull the arm back down into an extended position. Skeletal muscles or groups of skeletal muscles must work in pairs. These pairs are called "antagonistic" muscles; while one group is contracting, the other group is relaxing.

You can easily feel this action in your arm. With your right arm extended, place you left hand on your right biceps. Flex your arm (as if to make a big muscle) and you will feel the biceps brachii tighten and bulge somewhat; we are familiar with this. Now, place your left hand on your triceps and straighten the right arm completely (extra straight) and you should be able to feel the triceps brachii tighten. Although aided by gravity, the triceps MUST contract to straighten the arm.

A normal TSH varies from person to person. But the range that is typically followed by most doctors is .3 to 4.5. A .3 is on the hyperthyroid (overactive thyroid) end and a 4.5 is on the hypothyroid (under active thyroid) end of the spectrum. Therefore, a 1.26 falls well within the normal range. Make sure to talk with your doctor about the results, especially if you are experiencing any symptoms.

Yes, absolutely! Even when using the older measurements TSH 0.3 - 5.0, that is exceptionally high

Adrenal hormones control your body when you get scared.

By bind with specific receptors, the hormones are able to regulate reproduction, development, energy metabolism, growth, and behavior. The reason why it is important that these functions be activated through hormones (a signaling molecule) is because there is an exact time that these functions need to happen. A caterpillar can't start changing into a butterfly if it hasn't finished its cacoon yet.

Sounds like it could be an underactive thyroid!?

You cannot voluntarily activate your spit glands. When you put food in your mouth, they automatically begin to produce saliva to aid in the digestion of food. Sometimes just thinking about eating food can allow them to produce saliva.

I have struggled with this since January 2008. It will be a year since I have had this. It is very frustrating. Through all my research, doctor visits, and imaging tests, I have found that this is an asymmetry of the thyroid cartilage. It is either dealt with and see if it resolves on its own or, if symptoms worsen, have surgery to trim the cartilage where it is causing the problem. They do this surgery at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City department of otolaryngology. It is possible there are other reasons but I have had an MRI with contrast and CT with contrast that were negative and the asymmetric thyroid cartilage is what I have been concluded to have.

nope ive tried

trys to keep the body at 98.6 degreews and will try its best to cool you doen when it higher than 98.6 and will try to warm you up when lower than 98.6

Pituitary tumors are usually curable. Following surgery, adults may gradually resume their normal activities, and children may return to school when the effects of the operation have diminished, and appetite and sense of well-being have returned.

I don't know if there are more, but most likely you are referring to the "tonsils".....i want to add to this answer...the main one is THYROID...that can stuff up alot in your body

it helps the nerions

feedback loops maintain balance and homeostasis.

It's a modified sweat gland. Milk is essentially modified sweat, which is produced by mammary glands. Sebaceous glands produce sebum, which is this oily substance designed to lubricate skin and hair. This prevents the cells from drying out.
