Welcome to the forum, Lynnie888.

TSH is very suppressed. I don't understand why you have 2 results for T3L and T4L?

T3L 3.6 is high in range and so is 5.5.

T4L 1.00 is also high in range, as is 12.9.

You appear to be optimally dosed.

The results are reported in both mass and molar units!

(I think many here would wrily grin at the idea of TSH being ultra-sensible. :-) The peculiarities of reading words in one language in another language.)

Helvella,

Thanks, I didn't notice and was confused.

I agree about describing TSH as ultra-sensible. As odd as "exquisitely sensitive" TSH which we've seen it described.

A feather, especially down, is exquisitely sensitive to air movements. But it is absolutely no use in weather forecasting or anything else.

The exquisite sensitivity seems to me only to help with teasing out the distinction between absolute suppression and not-quite absolute suppression. Not that even that has much importance as far as I can see. Surely it makes more sense to see if FT4 and FT3 are over-range?

Helvella,

Of course, but not enough doctors are being trained that way.

Thank you.....I think normally we take the bottom line.

So I've been on 4 pills a day for 5 months..

2 morning 2 afternoon.

Do,you think these readings are too high....

I feel great ...no symptoms.

😁

I would stick with them. My range for FT3 goes up to 5.7 and my reading was 5.5 and medics happy with my results! My temp is stable at 36.9 which was what I was told to aim for. If you have no hyper symptoms and feel well then carry on.
