[QUOTE="Trip McNeely, post: 199672, member: 42240"] My TSH has been elevated for years, and even though I have several classic low thyroid symptoms — sluggish in mornings, intermittent brain fog, the early afternoon crash — I've avoided going on thyroid meds because my free T3 is always right in the middle of the range. For my latest set of labs, I got curious and decided to throw free T4 in as well, just to get a more complete picture. It was also in the normal range but toward the lower end. My full thyroid labs were as follows: TSH: 4.090 (Ref range: 0.450-4.500) Free T4: 1.27 (0.82-1.77) Free T3: 3.3 (2.0-4.4) I did not get RT3 tested, though from my understanding high RT3 tends to coincide with high T4 and average or below-average FT3, which is not the case with me. Because I'm not due for my next consult with Defy until July (this blood work was pulled by my local doctor through my insurance) I wanted to post here to see if anyone could offer insight as to what might be going on. These labs, at least the TSH and FT3, are VERY consistent with what they've looked like for the last 2+ years, when I started with Defy. So it isn't just a one-off, abnormal result. [/QUOTE]
