TSH fluctuation

Ok so I am new to Thyroid disorders. One year ago my TSH tested at 3.36 normal. One month ago it was 0.1 Two weeks after that another lab tested my TSH and it was 0.0. It was tested again this week and was 3.38. The doctor was telling me I had subclinical Hyperthyroidism. Now he says my Thyroid is normal! I have alot of Thyroid symptoms. I also have neuropathy and CRPS. I was hoping the thyroid was the answer to all of my ailments. Now I don't know what to think. All of the labs were done at the same time and all were fasting. I am seeing an endocrinologist in March. I wish it were sooner. Is it normal for your TSH to fluctuate so dramatically??

They pulled Free T-3 and T-4 and the Total T-3 and T-4. Only on the first lab did T-4 show high.

You need more than a TSH with those numbers and you need additional tests to determine the cause of the variations. See if the endo will take you before March and try to get another blood draw ordered by the endo for a full panel not jusy TSH.
