[QUOTE="Jones, post: 46464, member: 13749"] Having a low TSH is usually indicative of hypERthyroidism. However, thankfully your doctor ordered your Free T3 and Free T4, which showed that you are not hyperthyroid, but in normal range. When prescribing thyroid its important to use Free T3 to base dosing off of, so your doc is correct to say that the lower TSH is ok. Now, if your FT3 AND TSH were abnormal, you would need a dose adjustment. TSH is the negative feedback loop for the thyroid. It comes from the pituitary and tells the thyroid when to make more thyroid hormone. So, if it is low, it means don't make more thyroid (because you have enough). And if TSH is high, its screaming at the thyroid to make more. Hence why most doctors base a hypothyroid diagnosis off of a high TSH. Although, in my opinion, a full thyroid panel gives a more accurate picture of what the problem is. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have more thyroid questions and good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
