Has she ever had her iodine tested? If not, it might be worth-while getting it done. But, whatever she does, she should not jump the gun and start supplementing with it! Could make things worse.

No iodine tests done, what would that mean if low or high?

I was diagnosed with myxedema about 10 years ago, and my sisters thyroid results come back abnormal everytime she gets tested but the doctor say not enough to treat.

The thing about your daughter's results is that the FT4 is so low, but the FT3 over-range. It does happen, sometimes, that if a person is low on iodine, the thyroid will make less T4 and more T3, to save on iodine - T4 contains 4 atoms and T3 3 atoms. So, I was just wondering if that could be the problem. :)
