Thyroid problem is not curable, but is very treatable.  Thyroid replacement therapy usually gets it lined out pretty quickly.  Might take a little while to get the dosage right, but after that it is usually manageable.

These are very odd labs and I would like some clarification.

Mostly - is the lab (T3) above a Free T3 or an FT3?

Personally - I would lean its a total T3 with comparing the TSH reading is slightly in the hypo readings.

Yes - there are many things you can do and the word "curable" can be challenging - but you certainly can be well again managing this once you find the right fit in treatment.
