Hello and welcome to our forum and it is expanding daily I think. :)

First thing is when you have a blood test for thyroid hormones it has to be at the very earliest possible, fasting (you can drink water) and allow approx 24 hours between last dose of hormones and the test and take afterwards. This helps keep the TSH at its highest as that's all doctors seem to take notice of.

Always get a print-out of your results with the ranges. Ranges are important as labs differ and it makes it easier to respond. You can post for comments if you wish.
