Do you know what the lab ranges are for the T4 and T3?
Do you know if they are Free T tests?

Either I am exhausted today already - or I am not comprehending exactly what you are saying --

You treated "yourself with iodine 22 yrs ago?

I see you have a low TSH reading since dated back 3 yrs right?

You are now at a TSH value of 0.184 with the T4 and T3 testing right.

If so then I would suppose your doctor would lower your dosage of Levothroxine due to a low TSH not being in the normal values.

MAybe consider seeking actual blood work on the B testing to see if you are having issues.

Your doctor may see that and want to try alternative Vit B treatment.
