First antibody test results

So I stopped taking it and I became hooked on a sleep med to boot. My last US according to my report are referring to it as a goiter. I did have more daytime

Tiny Levo increase but FT4 well over range
Just got results back from MMH. I’ll add historical results for comparison but they may be irrelevant as I am where I am! I take Levo only. Ranges were 3.1-6 for FT3 and 12-22 for all tests. 2021 on 100mcg TSH 0.01 FT4 24.9=129% (12-22) FT3 6.5=91.89% (3.1-6.8) Note: insomnia much improved

TSH 3.88
Hi My recent blood test result showed my TSH is 3.88 and the receptionist said the doctor had left a note saying “tell patient normal” (which is what they always say). My question is…is it normal? I had a partial thyroidectomy in 2001 and have been on thyroxine ever since. Lately I’ve been struggling

tsh or t4 to determine over medication
It’s controversial in the United States between using tsh or t4 to detect over medication. Which is the best test to conclude over medication tsh or t4? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, Thanks for everyone’s help with my questions already. I am in a thyroid group on Facebook and they have told me that if you are on levothyroxine medication for an under active thyroid then you should aim for your tsh to be as close to zero as possible, because the levothyroxine is meant to

Endo recommendations?
Please! Can anyone send me (via private message, do not reply here please) recommendations for a private endocrinologist who has a record of prescribing NDT or T3 and won't baulk at suppressed TSH. Does such a specialist even exist?I think I'm moving towards being prepared to self medicate if it doesn't
