My recent thyroid blood test

[cigpk]

Tsh: 2.78 (.4-4.5)
T3 free: 3 (2-4.4)
T4 free: 1.18 (.82 - 1.77)
Reverse t3: 14.2 (9-24)
Thyro antiB: <1 (0-.9)
TPO Ab: 8 (0-34)

I was having hypo symptoms but they may be related to low Testosterone. Waiting on those results too.


What do y’all think?

Anyone?

Your results do not look too bad. I definitely would be supplementing with low-dose iodine and selenium.

Numbers don't look bad as Vince said, but the only way to tell if you have sub-clinical hypothyroidism is to ask your doc for a therapeutic trial and see if symptoms resolve.
I definitely don't want to dismiss your symptoms if you're presenting them.
Numbers are only part of the equation so to speak.

FT3 could be better I might like to see it closer like 3.8 or 9, though I'm not sure if that is accounting for the TSH being elevated. Pooling doesn't appear to be a problem.
