Bora72,

TSH responds to T4 and T3 levels. When T4 and T3 are high TSH will be low. When T4 and T3 are low TSH will be high to stimulate more thyroid hormone.

You weren't feeling fantastic 9 Oct 2013 because TSH was 1.13. You felt good because T4 and T3 levels weren't as high as they had been when TSH was 0.01.

Low TSH isn't dangerous, it's FT3 being high which can be dangerous.

I have no thyroid gland and my TSH has been 0.01 for 5 years. My endo would like it to be 0.05 but it seems stuck lower as it hasn't risen when Levothyroxine and T3 doses where reduced.

TSH can become irrelevent when at low levels if you are hypo the a) you will NOT be having overactive symptoms and b) most people NEED a TSH of less than 1 it is NOT dangerous!

Glynisrose,

Bora72 is hyperthyroid so TSH level is relevant to monitoring response to PTU.
