Confused about results
I have symptoms of hypothyroidism but my TSH shows normal rage at last test was 1.49, but my gyno checked free t4 also and it shows to be .87. I also have a goiter on my thyroid that doctors can't tell me why its there or why it is slowly growing. Just want to feel normal and I don't.

Might be too soon to redo antibody tests, but that's up to you. Once positive, they don't have to be done again.
Sounds like you've about got it covered.

I am asking him to test TSH, FT4 and FT3 all in one lab test. I am thinking of having him run the antibody test again. Thought about having him recheck thyroid with ultrasound because it getting where when I eat food is getting stuck at times and take 2-3 times swallowing to get it down.
I printed out hypo checklist and have gone through and check all that apply to me.
Anything else you could suggest having him check or do that I haven't thought of?

Thyroglobulin antibodies are markers for Hashimoto's, but low levels of them can be seen on some people who don't have Hashimoto's or symptoms of hypothyroidism. That may not mean they don't have it; it could just mean that maybe the antibodies haven't ramped up or hypo symptoms haven't showed up yet.
Have you made a list of the tests you need?

Thanks for all the information and help you have given me its been greatly appreciated.
