Dr. thinks you have thinning bone?  Because of the low TSH?
The simple way to find out is a DEXA bone density test.  At age 58 it is a good screening to have anyway.
I requested the test because no one knows how long I was hyper before it was diagnosed.  My Dr. says my DEXA results look good.  Nothing bad enough for a fosamax prescription.
So the conclusion is - I was not hyper long enough to cause bone loss or to make me skinny!  Now I have one less thing to worry about.

You are on Armour soooooo the only results that matter are your Free T3 and Free T4 which i do not see. It is critical to follow those 2 tests when treated with Armour.  Do you have those anywhere on a lab sheet that they were run?
