From your post yesterday, there was some doubt as to whether the FT3 result was correct. Have you had printed confirmation of your results, with reference ranges, yet?

Ela99, Your April results look very strange, the TSH and freeT3 don't seem to match. First thought is that there is a mistake somewhere, could be at the lab or in copying them out.

TSH stands for thyroid stimulating hormone, it gets high when we don't have enough thyroid hormone, to tell the thyroid to make more.

When our hormone levels get to nice comfortable levels, TSH gets low again. Many of us need it right at the bottom of the range or below to feel well.

FreeT3 is the most important hormone level, according to the numbers shown here yours is over range. The thing that looks wrong is that the TSH is still high. Usually if hormone is high, your TSH will then be low!

Probably something has gone wrong and either the TSH or freeT3 you've got here is a mistake.
