Is this normal thyroid function?!?

I had a benign tumor removed from my thyroid about 5 years ago.  At the time thyroid function was normal but now I have only 1/2 of my thyroid and am wodering if I have normal function.  Test showed the following levels:
T3 =179
T-4 =12.5

TSH = 3.35

My PCP says this is normal, yet I am experiencing hair loss, blurred vision and lack of concentration...

My question is, doe these results show abnormal thyroid function?  Borderline?

Thanks,

I had a benign tumor the size of an orange removed from my thyroid in march of this year. Since then the scar is still raised and red and hurts to touch. My thyroid was totally removed, and every now and then I get this burning feeling at the scar neck area that  is very painful what should I do

These are borderline - no definite indication for meds, but a trial of levothyroxine would not be unreasonable

You should go straight to your doctor and get this checked out.  It could be an infection and its not the type of place you want to get an infection.
