Thyroid results for my 13 year old

I'm hypothyroid as are my mum, her sister, female cousins and their female

children.

My son has just turned 13 and, for the past 6 months, has been having a terrible

time waking up in the morning and he struggles to stay awake at school. He's

been suffering from insomnia and has been feeling so rough, he's even stopped

skateboarding to the extent he used to enjoy.

His blood test results have just come back from the GP and the secretary says

that one of the results, his bone result, was abnormal, so the GP needs to see

him. The thyroid result is described as normal and I asked for the figures.

TSH is 3.29 and T4 is 12.1.

(I don't know the range yet, but presumably it is still the one where the TSH

normal range is 0.something to 5.5)

Could someone tell me whether those results are OK for a 13 year old boy, given

his wider family history of thyroid problems?

Thanks,

Tracey
