thyroid levels

hi
i im a 38 yr male and i just had my TSH,free T4 and my T3 checked and this is what came back TSH is 1.19 the free T4 is 0.87 and the T3 is 39 my dr tells me this is normal but i feel bad all the time i have really dry skin. im getting rashes on my arms,hands and chest and much more and from what i have been reading on the net it seems like i have the symptoms of thyroid problems. i have a pituitary tumor they found in jan this year. but they are just watching it. im just not my old self anymore and it just keeps getting worse. can anyone tell me if these levels are normal or low normal?

thanks

hi sally thanks for replying .  
im not sure about the Ft3 this dr only did the Ft4 . its hard to get dr's to listen to the symptoms anymore. if blood work comes back ok then its just panic attacks and depression and they seem to run with that. and that is not me i just feel ill all the time and i do feel depressed and i have bad panic attacks now . kinda like the fight or flight feeling. as for the tumor i have seen 2 neurologists and the first one kinda blew me off so i got with another one and she told me i might have been born with it and its nothing to worry about. lol so she wants to do mri's every 6 months or so. i cant help but think there has to be something wrong. i have never felt like this is my life its not like a panic attack here or there its all day every day and nothing seems to help much. i was seeing a shrink for about 3 years and was on about every drug out there and it either got worse or didnt do much at all.

Hi,

TSH looks good.  What is the normal range for the Ft3 and 4.  If it is mid to high within those ranges it is fine.

Could be allergies causing your symptoms.  Have you considered that?  Did they do testing of pituitary hormones? What were the results?
