Should I be concerned w/ a TSH of 0.11L
Please, I need help. Five weeks ago a blood test revealed a TSH of 1.090 uIU/mL (0.450-4.500) reference. My T4 was
10.3 (4.5-12.0) reference, T3 uptake at 31 (24-39) reference, and free thyroxine at 3.2 (1.2-4.9) reference. At that time, I had told my Endo. I felt very tired. My vitamin D was low at 24.1, and ferritin low at 15. My doc put me on a gluten free diet and added cytomel 5mg twice a day to my long taken levothyroxine 100mcg.. Also were added vitamin D, Iron, B12, and other vitamins.
Four weeks later I think I have a bladder infection and go see my internist. She runs some blood work including a TSH.
The TSH is now 0.11L (0.34 - 5.60)reference. Does this look right? I only have the score for the TSH for the thyroid. Also my creatinine serum went from 1.00 five weeks ago to 1.19 a week ago. I am a 60 year old woman. I do not drink or do drugs of any kind, or smoke. Otherwise, I am in great shape.

your tsh will be suppressed when taking T3 so look for other signs of being
hyper. ...look up the list of hyperthyroidism and see if you have any of the signs, headaches, sweating, nervous, shaky, feeling hyper, too much energy, etc etc... I went hyper on too much meds and I didn't fit all the signs but the ones I did have were in the extreme category... mainly migraine or head aches and head pressure etc....everyone is different but it took 6 weeks for th ft3 ft4 to show hyper.....so my dr kept me on drugs too long eventhough I tried to tell her I felt very strange and having eye pain as well...in just one eye

Thanks for your response. I will be tested this week. I still feel tired, but no swelling ears, or ringing, no shaky hands, no heart palps, anxiety yes because something is not right. I am concerned about the loss of kidney function shown in my creatinine serum second test, thinking it may have something to do with the addition of the T3 and all the new vitamin pills. I am sleeping less and another strange thing has happened over the past two weeks. I have itching under my chest for no reason. There is no rash or redness there. I have not changed soaps. It is like my body is trying to tell me something, but apparently I can't figure it out.
Here" something else to add to this dicey story. Two weeks ago, I thought I had a heart flutter.
Well, now I only believe it was indigestion. So, my doc said to cut back to one 5 mcg a day. Three days after that, I thought someone had pulled the rug out from under me. Then the wrist pain started . I couldn't take it anymore. I went back to (2) 5mcg. a day. The wrist pain was gone in two days and whoever had pulled that rug out from under my feet was kind enough to place it back. Thanks for your help.

TSH is a pituitary hormone. It is secondary in treating hypothyroidism. The main levels that should be tested and treated are the active thyroid hormones FT3 and FT4.
The question is, how do you feel? Do you have a swelling feeling in the ears, or ringing, shaky hands, heart palps, anxiety, difficulty sleeping?
If so, then I'd say you are on too much thyroid hormone. You really need the frees tested so that you can get your meds adjusted.
