My recent labs are as follows

Free T4 1.1

TSH 3rd generation 2.33

Those were all my doctor drew... And told me they are in the normal range. Any insight is helpful. Thanks

Please post the ranges of those lab tests, and we'll be glad to help, K?

Sure. Sorry. Here's the results and range

Free T4 1.1 range 0.8-1.8

Tsh 3rd generation 2.33 range 2.10-3.98

I have no idea what this means.. Dr said normal.

How are you feeling? Frankly, I'd find it hard to move with your levels, but it's important to know how YOU feel.

Free T4
Range: 0.800 -1.800
Result: 1.100
Percent of range: 30.00%

Most people feel "well" with a Free T4 of 75-100% of range. Frankly, I'm not sure how you're functioning.

Free T3
range: 2.100 -3.980
result: 2.330
Percent of range: 12.23% This should be above 50% at least.

Thanks for your reply. I feel horrible. I find it very hard to stay awake. I sleep so much. When I'm not sleeping I have no energy to do any thing. I get called lazy. I can't remember things. I forgot about this post that's why it took me a few days to reply with the ranges. I have severe anxiety. Not sure if that's related to it or not. But my doctor calls it normal. I think it's time to find a new one.

Anxiety is a definite result of low thyroid. I have been on thyroid medication for 40 years since 1975 and I get my TSH and Free T3 and Free T4 tested by a Conventional Doctor who seems to understand to some degree about ranges etc. If my TSH was 2.33 I would not be very happy camper. I take 125 mcg of synthroid every day and my TSH comes back at 1.75..Doctor is happy with that number..Personally I would like to be lower..more in the mid range of 1.5 or even 1
