Am I right to remember you take NDT, MaryF? If so, those results look good - as long as you're feeling good. An FT3 result would've been nice as you'll know, but at face value - that all looks ok.

Aside from rigging up my own lab and testing facility and test design I think T3 testing is about as common as Hens Teeth in Ye olde Suffark East Angles etc. Yes on 3 grains currently feeling crap but I do have 6 other conditions so likely to be that.... thanks. MaryF

That "like" wasn't for the "feeling crap" - it was for the "hen's teeth" thing. :)

FT4 tends to be mid range or lower when on NDT, but without an FT3 it is tricky to gauge whether you might be on enough. There is always a case for raising by half a grain and seeing whether it makes things better or worse - the old school, pre lab test way of working out the right dose which worked just fine before the scientists got obsessed with numbers. :)

The main question MaryF is 'how do you feel'. I do know you have other issues as well but your results look good except there's no Free T3.

I look forward to your Blog MaryF as you are very talented and always your blogs are hilarious.

Mary, TSH is low in range but I've observed that most people on T4+T3 and NDT will have lower TSH <0.1 with FT3 in the top third of range to feel well. It's a good idea to get a private FT3 test now you are on 3 grains to check level before increasing though.
