ok sorry I didn't mean to list it twice, One was from a test a year ago. I'm 37 and have  leg pain, big goiter in my neck, my hands are really dry and the skin actually pills off them sometimes. I have ADHD and have been taking Adderall for the last 10 years but have stopped it for the past week. My heart was racing a lot. I take Enguvia which is an estrogen, I had a full hysterectomy in 2006. Lot's of muscle pain and I guess I should mention my family thinks I'm crazy, from all my melt downs and morning fits of anger. I thought my hysterectomy would fix the mood issues but it didn't. Thanks for any help!

Hard to determine a lot from the limited data.  Did you mean to list TSH twice?   It would be helpful if you would also list the reference ranges for those tests, as shown on the lab report..  

If I absolutely had to guess what it all means, I'd drag out my crystal ball and say that the FT4 result is probably indicative of hypo symptoms.  It could be confirmed by a test for FT3, which I expect would fall in the lower end of the range consistent with the FT4 result.  On the other hand, having a TSH in the low end of the range is frequently associated with being hyper.  But, concurrently having a FT4 in the low end of the range, the low TSH is more likely indicative of low pituitary function contributing to low thyroid gland output of thyroid hormones.    

So how about helping out here by also giving us info on the reference ranges and also  any symptoms that you are having.

Your TSH is very hypo.  Unfortunately, total T3 and total T4 are considered obsolete tests and of limited usefulness.  If I were you, I'd have FREE T3 and FREE T4 tested as soon as possible.  These tests show the levels of the actual thyroid hormones available to your cells.  You must feel awful, and you need to be on medication as soon as possible.

Please retype your TSH result.  This site does not handle the greater-than or less-than sign well, so type out the words, rather than the sign.

I don't know whether you're pregnant or not, but TSH has nothing to do with pregnancy.  The reference, or "normal", ranges for TSH vary during pregnancy.  Some labs report pregnancy ranges so that all information is available.
