background is was on t3 slow release in usa and was changed to cytomel which did not work as well - was to increase but doc here took me off of it when my results were within limits - they were always within limits!!

I was then put on t4 which did nothing ! but make me feel bad! now off all meds -

can anyone help me put some sense in all of this ?

thanks!

Swkenzie, symptoms sound hypothyroid but TSH 1.6 and FT4 12 don't indicate thyroid dysfunction. How long have you been off all thyroid meds?

Your other results look well. It may be worth having a private vitamin D test via City Assays as low vitD can cause musculoskeletal pain. thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/testin...

swkenzie, it really doesn't look like you need thyroid meds from your blood results.
