TSH and T4 questions
In Jan my tsh was 0.37 and my t4 1.02 . It was tested again in July and my tsh 0.35 and t4 0.96 . I feel really terrible daily. Im confused with my results as my dr seems to think everything is fine
need more information. When you say you feel terrible, in what way?
Are you showing signs of LOW, or HIGH (Hyper) symptoms?
I would suggest that your pituitary is not working properly, it is not producing enough TSH, which is telling your thyroid gland to slow hormone prduction. This leaves you very low in the ranges and most likily Hypo (low). Which is why you feel terrible.
This is exactly the reason you need to have more than TSH tested. Because TSH is just not that remiable.
I would recommend you also have tested next time and demand that they also add Free T3 as well as Free T4.
