THANK YOU
On my Lab slip for thyroid test my doctor puts no fasting.
I do anyway because I have the test done early in the AM as soon as they open and depending where I am at in line.
Hypos need their Labs done as late as possible in the day for that is when they are the most hypo. And no fasting necessary, I would assume, unless the doctors office tells you otherwise.
Make sure the Endo deals with a lot of thyroid patients per year, for most of them deal with and know more about diabetics then thyroid. Also make request for TSH, both FTs and all antibodies for hyper and hypo. Good luck!

I had a ham sandwich, chips, coffee and some hard candies before my test- dont know if that helps or not.
Now I didnt not fast before my test-( they didnt tell me to) does that make a difference. I do go see a endo in three weeks. I am hoping he can do something. I own my own buisness and I cant run it feeling the way I do.
I forgot to ask for you Labs ranges. But what I read is that your levels are in the normal range. However the way that they are relating to each other, could suggest generalized ill-health;
TSH 1.37
ANTI TPO < 10
ANTI TPO < 10
t4 7.8
T3 159
T3 159
