Looked through all blood test and have no record of a TSI test.
Thank you very much - was not aware I needed one to be sure -
only had one doctor mention it, as if it could be a possibility.
I will visit with my doctor and get one setup.
Again Thank you.

Have you ever been tested for Graves' Disease as a cause of the hyperthyroidism? The definitive test for that is Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobulin (TSI).
They said I had hyperthyroidism - not sure what would have caused it? only discovered it when I was in my mid fifties by blood test. Graves disease was mentioned but no know history in my family? so not sure what caused it to get out of whack.
The ranges are at the top of the previous list
.27 - 4.2 TSH - .93 - 1.7 free T4 - 2.3 - 4.2 free T3
The test I received in 5/2/14 did not have a TSH 3rd reading shown. I noticed that and checked it.
Thank you
What was the diagnosed cause for you being hyperthyroid?
We need always be able to compare test results against reference ranges. So please tell us the ranges shown on the lab reports for those tests. If always from the same lab, then one set of ranges will suffice.
Also please double check the 5/2/2014 entry.
