> The "new optimal" range (at least in Canada) for TSH values is between 1 and 3. Above 3 you're hypo and under 1 you're hyper. Do you know your T3 and T4 values? Each day, i'm never taking my Syntroid at the same hour. Sometimes i eat before, sometimes not.

Hi Max,I think you have got your HYPER and your HYPO the wrong way round. HYPO means too little and HYPER means too much.
Hypo- is a prefix imported from Greek meaning "below", "low", or "insufficient".
Hyper- is a prefix imported from Greek
meaning "over" "above" or "beyond"They sound similar but they have opposite meanings.
see the Wiktionary
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Hyper-
and
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hypo-As they have opposite meanings it is kind of important to use them correctly. :-)
