my tsh level i don't get it

[mimi864]

hi there is something i wanna know first i did t3 t4 tsh tests and also fsh actually i can't understand what the report says
so my tsh is 0.5 and it says the normal is 0.3-6.3
and i do remember that pathologist said that i'm having very mild problem with the tsh ,so am i considered as hypothyrodism beside i can't loose weight i don't know what's the problem with me all what i know if the person has hypothyrodism so he looses weight , my t3 is180ng/dl and the normal range says  80-210
t4 is 11.4 ug/dl and normal range says  4.2-12

Hi mimi864, I had a similar scenario to what Smilerdeb just described.

What is your actual diagnosis?  Since you say "pathologist said that i'm having very mild problem with the tsh"  I am wondering if you had nodules that were biopsied ?

Many doctors just treat thyroid problems based on TSH and as you will hear from many people here, there is a lot more to it that that.

Do you have any recent lab work that shows your Free T3, Free T4 and have you been tested for Antibodies, Hashimoto's or Graves disease,  (TPOAb, TgAb and TRAb)

If you can tell us a little more about your case I am sure there are many here that can answer your questions.

Your levels look like they are heading HYPER to me...not hypo.
And regardless of the old fallacy that you lose wieght with HYPER, you can also GAIN.
I was hyper in 2008 and gained 33lbs.
I went through stages of fat/skinny.....
Your tsh shows hyper too...not hypo

I'm not going to try to answer your specific question because I'm new to this.  But, having said that, I Have HyPERthyroidism and I've loost a lot of weight rapidly.  I'm not sure about HyPOthyroidism, but I would think it would be just the opposite.  Somebody here will have the ansers for you, I'm sure.  Good luck.  :)
