I have been off meds for Graves Disease since June 2016, my recent Blood test is: TSH 0.08, T4 17.2 and T3 4.8, what does this mean please?

Those who have knowledge of Graves disease will reply, but you need to add the reference ranges for your results so they can interpret them. Ranges vary from lab to lab so we need the ranges from the lab that did your test.

Do you have the ranges Foxymax (typically in brackets after the result). It’s difficult to say much without them

TSH often stays suppressed after Graves

Most important figures are FT3 and FT4

Also ask GP to test vitamin D, folate, B12 and ferritin

These are often too low and need supplementing with Graves or Hashimoto’s

Are you on strictly gluten free diet?

[Foxymax in reply to SlowDragon]

No I am not, should I be? I have been told the tsh is abnormal and suppressed and that the T 4 and T 3 are in range and are normal.

Essential to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12. Always get actual results and ranges. Post results when you have them, members can advise

To add in the ranges, if you have them, click the down arrow next to More and select edict and then add them in.

My T4 is 17.2 and T3 is 4.8 which are normal but my TSH is suppressed at 0.08.
