Help finding guidelines

Hi I have just had my latest Medicheck results and I need a conversation with my GP . My tsh is 1.6 my T3 3.55 and my free thyroxine 12.4 . I feel dreadful my weight out of control. I need to convince her that my tsh could be lower and the other two numbers could higher. Where do I find hopefully in one place the information to support myself. I am a tech dinosaur I have been on many sites but can find no simple graph type information, is there such a thing. All my vitamins apart from d3 are good ( now increased my dose ) thanks to the supplement information you have given me in the past . Sorry about the bad grammar but quite dyslexic this as good as it gets

Can you also post the ranges for your blood tests, please. It makes it easier if ranges are quoted as labs differ in their machines and so the ranges may also be different.

To make any changes press the down arrow next to More and select edit.

I don't know of any graph, I don't think it's possible to do one anyway because we're all different and where we need our levels is very individual. However, with your TSH level I only know of one article which mentions it can be suppressed as long as FT3 is within range and it's the one I quoted when you first posted on the forum a year ago here:
