That sounds like good news all round. My TSH is higher and ft4 lower but they won't entertain the idea of a trial.
My ft3 came back as high though so that put the cat amongst the pigeons. They've said as I'm producing lots of my own ft3 then there can't be a problem!
It seems like you were lucky that your normal GP was away as you may not have got such a good result, even though you had obviously taken advise from here and did an amazing job of putting your case across. As tulula's answer demonstates it is unfortunately all down to the GP on the day and what their own personal views are on thyroid illness, which is a real shame for all of us.
Glad your GP is going to get you sorted and has ordered more tests to see exactly whats going on.
