T4 and T3 decreasing but so is TSH. Advice please!

Hi lovely people,

I posted at some ridiculous hour last night and I think my post hasn't been very well picked up, so I'm posting again, sorry! Hoping to get some advice before my doctor's appointment tomorrow. Here is my previous post if you want more detail healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

...but I will keep it brief here.

My latest results from last week are:

TSH 1.070 µUI/mL 0.380 - 5.330

T4 (free) 0.97 ng/dL 0.54 - 1.24

(58% through range)

T3 (free) 3.31 pg/mL 2.50 - 3.90

(58% through range)

ESR *48 mm/h 5 - 25

Cholesterol *224 mg/dL 140 - 200

These results have dropped since my last test in March. T4 and T3 are lower, but so is TSH! I don't understand why this would be. I think I'm going to have a battle getting my doctor to do much with these results. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Is it time for an increase?

Thanks

By posting anew, you could see replies split and confusing both those who reply and you!
