t4 free+tsh levels

I am a hypothroid. My thyroid doctor is on leave for the next 2 months, but I got my  blood results back.
My t4-free was 1.63 and tsh level .226.  the tsh level seems low, but I feel ok. I was wondering if that combination was not a good one. My primary doctor never called me back let me know if he thought that was ok. Right now I take .125 gm of levoxyl.

Thanks for the help

Hi,

what is the reference range for the FT4?  If it is not outside the reference range, I wouldn't bee worrying that the TSH is low.  

If you are feeling good I wouldn't be changing anything at this point, and you can certainly wait for 2 months to discuss with your Dr..
