high t4???? what does it mean?

[kl42]

what does a high t4 mean. how can it effect you if at all. recent test came back t4 free 2.0  range 0.8-1.8..

doc . kept  me same dose. say she thinks numbers are good, but now wants me to split the dose in half. says that maybe i need the t3 spread out more during the day. to try this before anything else. retest a month or so. so sounds reasonable. make sense , ill give it a try, Kevin

im fine but just a little tired sometimes a little achy and i look a little tired . got endo appt. in a hour going to see what she says. i don't know? problem is i felt hyper at  a higher level. . so idon;t know. can they raise you by  2.5  or is that too low. also my numbers seem to stay the same as it was on a higher dose?/ the free t4 and freet3 justthe tsh moved  wierd.

Kevin, how are you feeling with those latest lab results?  That would be the most important thing to me.  If you were a little hypo, I'd think the FT3 could be tweaked upward slightly, and the FT4 reduced a bit.  In general that would probably be the thing to do, but if you are feeling fine, I don't know that I would change anything.  Taken by itself, that FT4 being a bit above the limit would not concern me enough to go changing  meds.  Just my biased opinion.
