I heard it was good to get thyroid levels checked before 9AM and so I did just that and I think it helped, I know that's when I am most tired.

I am sooo happy that it FINALLY went OVER the mark  -- way over if you consider the new 0.3-3.0 range  and  if I might feel best around 1.00.  And I noticed that my FT4 got even LOWER than last time.  I've had hypo symptoms for YEARS.  Now I'm praying for a hypo diagnosis and meds!  I can't tell you how happy I was when I first got my lab paper -- I was gleaming!  And to have symptoms for so many years and to constantly hear "looks normal" made me think it was in my head.  Thank God for a family history of thyroid problems, that's all that has kept me looking at my thyroid.  

Thank you so much for looking!

God bless you.

Here's the measurement tyes for the following tests:

Labwork - March 2, 2010

TSH    4.77 H     (ref 0.47-4.68)    uIU/mL
FT4     0.86        (ref 0.60-2.19)    ng/dL
TT3     1.64        (ref 0.96-1.69)    ng/mL

Just thought I'd add them since the same lab recently used different measurements for some of the same tests.
