do I need treatment for Hypothyroid
I'm 36 yrs old. My TSH is 5.35 and my FT3 is 1.73, FT4 .89, but my doctor has taken me off the replacement therapy.
My daughter is 8 yrs old. Her TSH is 11.97, FT3 2.8, FT4 1.01, the doctor says its normal. Do I need to change my Doctor? Pl help!!!

Yes, definitely change doctors.
Your thryoid level also appears to be high. Current range is up to about 3.5, most women feel best at levels around 2.0 or slightly lower.
So you may benefit from replacement hormone particularly if you have symptoms.
Your daughter's TSH is really too high. It is not normal. It needs to be treated. Hypothyroid in kids can affect their development.
