No, the tests on the lab order to do not include testing for T3 (should be FREE T3); and yes, it should be included in order to get a proper picture of what's going on.
In addition, it appears that your doctor may be testing for antibodies, with the Thyroglobulin Panel, but he also needs to be doing Thyroid peroxidase antibodies, as well.
