First time ever told what my Free 3 is, it's 2.30 2.8 3.9 and my Free4 is 0.66 0.93 2 and my iron is 66 I thought my TSH level was going to be tested but nurse said it wasnt. My last TSH result was done on the 15 of this month which was 3.09

Thanks so much for helping me with myresults. Oh and I have to go do more blood work since I was found to have an autoimmune disease, now what do I have to find out as if i dont have much already. I read up on it, and know of course that hashimoto and graves are autoimmune disease those I have, but there are other kinds that are listed that I read up on that I certainly would not want any of them, praying for no more bad news.

You need more medication (levothyroxine/Synthroid/whatever). Your T3 should be in the top half of the range, T4 in the top quarter. You should be aiming for a TSH below 1. Can't help on the autoimmune although if you have hashimotos you may want to go on a gluten free regime.

Thanks Mistydog. I forgot to put down that I'm taking 5mg of Methimazole once a day.

[mistydog in reply to sarajuarez2912]

Ah yes, you have graves, don't you? I think maybe you need to phone your doctor and see what they recommend with regard to your dosage.

Also, there are literally 1,000s of autoimmune diseases, so without knowing what they are looking for, it's impossible to answer.

I was told by a friend that I could cut the 5mg of Methimazole to half because I'm hypo right now, my endo wanted my TSH to go up 5 as I was told by her last month, I don't think I've heard that's good by others to have it go up to 5. Thanks Mistydog
