Confusing Test Results
by Bonnie505, Nov 03, 2008 04:54PM
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in 1992. I am on 120mg Armour. I just recently had a blood test and my doctor said that my results are in the normal range. My TSH is 0.023 and my Free T4 is 1.2 I thought that if I had a TSH below 0.4 that meant that I was over medicated. My doctor said she goes by the Free T4 result and not the TSH. Can you help clear this up for me? I have never had my test results come back like this before.

So dosing by using a Free T4 test AND a Free T3 test is more reliable.
With your TSH that low, your doctor should have run a Free T3 test to see how it looks. 0.023 is pretty low.
