Labs throughout the country use different machines that have different ranges which is why it is necessary to have the ranges. Can you look up the hospital who test blood and see if the ranges are stated somewhere.

The best question to answer is 'How are you feeling on your dose of hormones'. If well then your dose is correct for you.

Slinksterd, TSH 0.05 is low in range which is good, and FT3 high in range, also good, neither of which indicate any problem absorbing the Levothyroxine you are taking. I can't tell without the range whether FT4 is good, bad, or middling. Your endo should be able to advise what the ranges are.
