Odd thyroid test results

I also belong to the PMRAuk group as I was diagnosed with PMR mid 2020. I also have hypothyroidism dating back to mid 1980s. I recently took one more step down to 3mg Prednisone after being on it for over 3 years and a very long tapering process with a couple of flares to slow things down. But my question is about my Thyroid test yesterday. I am on Levothyroxine and supplemented with 5mcg of T3. My test showed normal readings of Free T4 and T3 but TSH was only .03, really low and quite low for me. Not sure what to make of that. I am usually around 1.6.

Both taking steroids and T3 can lower TSH

Just make sure you test Ft4 and Ft3 at each test
