I was wondering if you could help me understand these results. I only got diagnosed in February this year as been underactive so I don't really understand things yet. I ask my gp to do thyroid test including t3 and vitamin deficiency but this is all he would do. I asked for print out and this is what I got.
T4dose select from ,
Serum tsh level on T4 0.73 mu/l 0.35 - 4.94mu/l
I am taking 100 of thyroxin daily but still keep getting flare ups. Been to doctors every week telling him how I'll I feel but he doesn't take it seriously.
Would be grateful for some advice.

TSH 0.73 indicates 100mcg is sufficient dose and it assumes that FT4 and FT3 are adequate. Symptoms can lag behind good biochemistry by a couple of months so you may have improvement to come. If you aren't feeling better in a couple of months it may be worth ordering a private thyroid test to check FT4, FT3 and antibodies from Blue Horizon or Genova via thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/testin...
