Confused About LAbs

Hi All, Apparently I have hashimotos. I first had mt thyroid levels checked 2 years ago and my TSH was over 20  normal (0.5-4.0)
My last results were 6 weeks ago were. I see a trend with my results. If my TSH decreases, my FT4 increases and FT3 decreases. Hmmmmmm
TSH 1.99
Free T4: 19.1
Free T3 3.2

Do these results look odd to anyone. I know the TSH is in the normal range. My endo likes to keep his Hashimotos patients TSH under 2.0. But the Free T4 and Free T3 look odd consider I am hypo and hashimoto diagnosis? All my endo says...is that you are stable. But I feel like crap.

Many Thanks~ Joanen

It seems that your post got cut off.

On your lab report, somewhere near your result and probably in parentheses, is the reference (normal) range for these two tests.  FT4 is usually somthing like 10-20, and FT3 is in the vicinity of 2.3-4.2.  These change from lab to lab, so we have to provide them with results.

Please post the ranges on your FT3 and FT4.  These vary lab to lab so have to come from your own lab report.  It seems you may convert T4 to T3 slowly.
