Blood Test Results

[carolbrit]

Hi everyone, just wanted to say this is my first post and am so very glad to have found this site. Could some of you experts out there take a look at my last blood test and let me know what you think:

TSH 1.28 (0.455.4.68)

T3 3.22 (2.77-5.27)

T4 1.15 (0.78-2.19)

T4 Total 7.46 (4.5-11.5)

I've been plodding along since 1998 with hypo and no change from 100mg of Levò over the years. I feel reasonably well with just a little anxiety to contend with at the moment. I know that's not much compared to what some of us are dealing with.

Thanks for your help

Welcome to the forum, Carolbrit.

Anxiety is common when undermedicated and overmedicated. I think you may be slightly undermedicated. Most people are comfortable with TSH around 1.0 or just below. FT4 is less than half way through range and ideally would be > 1.8. FT3 is also low, ideal is >4.4.
