Sadly, your doctor hasn't arranged for the right tests to be done. Total T3 and Total T4 are not the most informative tests. You really need Free T3 and Free T4 done instead. The body makes use of Free T3 and Free T4.

Your TSH at 5.52 is too high for most people to feel well. Healthy people have a TSH which is closer to 0.5 - 1.5. You might find this post of interest :

The above post was written with elderly people in mind but it contains information applicable to adults of all ages.

I'm assuming from what your report says that you are in the US. You might find this link relevant - it's a website written by an American :

stopthethyroidmadness.com/r...

On this forum people are recommended to get a rather shorter list of tests done than that site suggests :

TSH

Free T4

Free T3

TPO antibodies

Tg antibodies

Vitamin B12

Folate

Vitamin D

Ferritin

I would suggest a full iron panel rather than just ferritin. An iron panel includes ferritin, iron, transferrin saturation %, and TIBC (Total Iron Binding Capacity)
