TSH is very low

[tatvictoria]

Hi,
My THS is 0.005
I’d like to know opinion form the specialist endocrinologist
I had a surgery when I was 19, it was 3 stagy
And already 10 years I am tacking L-Teraxin 100. For the last 2 years i was taking 2 tablets a day of L-Teraxin 100
Just 1 week ago I made a test, and my results are like that:  FT4 - 1.92; FT3 - 2.8; TSH -0.005.
Any advice and explanation how bad is my result please?

Your FT3 seems a bit low but without normal bands, it is hard to tell.  Perhaps your T4 only medication is not giving you what you need?  I think you're getting too much T4 and too little T3.

The low TSH means you are over-medicated -- talk with your doctor about a lower dose.

Without reference ranges, the numbers mean little.  If they are typical reference ranges, it sounds like you may be a little ove rmedicated.

What was the surgery for and how much (half or all) of the thyroid was taken  out?

According to my Labs reference range your FT-4 is out of Labs range to the hyper side (high) and not low. However, levels with differ slightly from Lab to Lab.
Decreasing dose to raise TSH level might and normally will, lower FT-4 level.
You don't necessarily have to have symptoms. Symptoms are so hard to define as thyroid. Most are made up and not medically approved as thyroid symptoms, by many trials and testing of thyroid patients. .
As far as health issues would depend on the duration of the level, many, many, many years I would suspect. Short length of time should not cause any health issues.  Good Luck!

GL,
Thyroid patient
