No thyroid and low TSH levels

Since having Thyroid cancer last Feb. and my thyroid removed we can not get my TSH levels right. We keep lowering the dosage due to low levels from 125 mcg to mcg of Levothroid. I am worried about my weight plus other difficulties with taking such a low dosage. Any suggestions on why such low levels with no thyroid?
Thank you!

I'm sorry, I'm not seeing any actual results of anything - just notes.  

It would be easier for us if you post the actual test results and reference ranges.  

It's typical for TSH to be kept suppressed after thyroid cancer.  Aside from that, levels of Free T3 and Free T4 are much more important than TSH in how you feel.  I see mention of FT4, but nothing about FT3... if your doctor isn't testing that, you probably need a different doctor.

Hello,

is your doctor just testing TSH, or is he also testing Ft3 and Ft4 (actual thyroid hormone levels)?  

Please let us know and the test reference ranges from the past testing.

How are you feeling?
