[QUOTE="OMI100, post: 93262, member: 71"] RATBAG, My math: FT4 = 1.1 RANGE LOW = 0.8 RANGE HIGH = 1.8 RANGE = 1 DELTA ABOVE LOW RANGE = 1.1 MINUS 0.8 = 0.3 ABOVE LOW RANGE RANGE = 1 THERFOR 0.3 is 30% of the range of 1 FT4 is 30% above low range. I may be wrong but I think the critical numbers are where you fall WITHIN the range. Are you on NDT? A quick look at optimal levels here: [URL]http://www.tiredthyroid.com/optimal-labs.html[/URL] would indicate the FT4 is less then the start of the optimal zone. [URL]https://stopthethyroidmadness.com/lab-values/[/URL] [B][COLOR=#FF0000]"FREE T4:[/COLOR] [/B]T4 is the thyroid storage hormone. [I]Free [/I]in front of the T4 means you are measuring what is available and unbound. [B][I]Generally,[/I] those on an optimal amount of desiccated thyroid will have a free T4 around mid-range when their free T3 is at the top and in the presence of healthy adrenals.[/B] If you have low FT4 and a mid-range or slightly higher FT3, it usually means the T4 is converting like mad to give you the T3 you do have, which means hypo." Might be something to look into. [/QUOTE]
