Your TSH and FT4 are fine. But what is your FT3? If you aren't converting very well, it will be low, and that's why you don't feel well.

Grey goose tsh has to be low. I’d had thyroid cancer.

Yes, I said, your TSH is fine. There's nothing wrong with a low TSH. We're fighting on the same side! lol

Looking at your last set of results, I’d say you’re a poor converter of T4 to the active thyroid hormone T3.

So you’re feeling awful because you’re not making enough T3, I’d say. Ideally, you need FT3 testing to see what’s happening - and if it’s still low, you could do with having liothyronine adding to your levothyroxine.

I’d speak to the doctors next time I’d see her. Thanks you
