Hyper or Hypo?

I was told I was Hypothyroid  with Hasimotos and put on 1.5 grams of Armour Thyroid. TSH shows Hyper reading. Test results are as follows: TPO- 948
                                         Free T-4 0.9
                                          TSH- 0.02
                                          Free T-3 - 373
                                          Thyroglobulin - 136.0      
I have two goiters and I suffer from anxiety/panic attacks and weight gain and fatigue. Is Armour the right treatment?

My labs are before taking any Armour I am on no meds at all at this time. So I am concerned about taking something that will further suppress my TSH. Does this sound right?

I got Hashis, my labs were almost identical to yours, TSH 0.06, FRee T3 370, TPO 1000, FREE 1.3 and I felt awful and I was having panic attacks.  My endo said the dose was too high for me.

Is your doctor keeping you at suppressed TSH level in hopes to shrink goiters.  If not, your Armour dose might be too high.

I am no a fan of Armour.
