[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1566726, member: 54178"] Good to know Doc. I appreciate this info. I'll ask my family doc about this longer test interval for my own health and B/C Medicare may also have much longer re-testing requirements and I do not want to end up paying for expensive lab tests. Labs always jack up prices for uninsured tests. And of course I do want any re-test to be accurate as to my TSH level relative to increased thyroxin prescription levels. Seems like monitoring TSH requires patience on the part of both doctor and patient. I used to teach psychology and included a section on the endocrine system. My basic message was that the endocrine system is a closed loop and the pituitary depends on hormone levels in the blood to sense how much stimulating hormone to send out. In younger individuals that system usually works well. But I'm 75 and even as fit as I am "parts wear out". In fact my motto is "I'd rather wear out than rust out." Eric B. [/QUOTE]
