Hi Mark, please help
I have a question relating to my thyroid. My doctor is stumped, as well as my endocrinologist, I have been suffering from hypothyroid for many years now. I am only 17 years old, and I'd like to continue my life happily without these lingering symptoms. I just recently have started thyroid hormone treatment. However, my results are wacky and are all over the place. They are different each time I check the levels. Now my FT4 is under range, my tsh is low, and my FT3 is low/normal. What does this mean? what should I do next? Is this normal for the free t4 to be so low? Ft3 is also kind of low but my tsh is suppressed.
TSH : .7 (.3-3)
FT4 : .7 (.8-1.8)
FT3 : 2.6 (2.3-4.2)
TSH looks normal - not likely thyroid related.
