[QUOTE="OMI100, post: 97055, member: 71"] Hmmm.. Are you on any thyroid meds? Not an expert but your low FT4 may represent an issue. Look around here: [URL]http://www.tiredthyroid.com/optimal-labs.html[/URL] and [URL]http://www.tiredthyroid.com/what-labs.html[/URL] and [URL]http://www.tiredthyroid.com/feeling-hyper-when-hypo.html[/URL] and [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. and [URL]https://hypothyroidmom.com/10-signs-you-have-a-thyroid-problem-and-10-solutions-for-it/#more-6523[/URL] Someone with a stronger background may add to the above. Or you might see if you can find a DR (like finding a needle in a mountain of hay) that truly understands hormone levels and what optimal levels are. One other area that you might research is pituitary issues: "a [B]low TsH and low fT4[/B] or fTi indicates [B]hypothyroidism[/B] due to a problem involving the pituitary gland. ...
