How long was the gap between your last dose of NDT and the blood draw?
Unfortunately, I too a dose about an hour before test so I k ow the t3 will be high. I’m concerned about the tsh though. That is way too high. I’ve been taking ndt for about 4 months now. I take 1 grain in morning and 1 late afternoon.
If you took 1 grain NDT one hour before the test, the FT4 will also be higher than normal. And it's not very high in that test. So, that could be why your TSH is high. I'm afraid this test is meaningless. You have no idea of your normal circulating T4 or T3.
Do you always take your NDT on an empty stomach, waiting at least one hour before eating, etc. just like levo?
Are you taking thyroid? Your TSH is very high! How do you feel? Symptoms?
