I don't have a copy of the tests yet, they aren't back, so I don't know what is ordered. When I get my copy, I'll have more info. My GP does the frees about every 6 months and did the antibody. I do not have Hashimoto's and my frees are good.

Just found my Oct. 2005. tests. T4 unbound - 1.09 norms .70 to 1.60

(Gp Ordered) Anti-Thyrog.AB - Negative

T3 (Triiodothyronine) 1.22 Norms .80 to 2.00

TSH High Sens. .48 Norms .27 to 4.20

March 2006 (GP ordered)

T4 Free Non Dialysis l.4 Norms.08 to 1.8

T3 Free 282 Norms 230 to 420

TSH .67 Norms .4 to 5.5

I wouldn't expect to find whatever this new guy tested for to be much different. I seem to stay pretty much in the ranges you see above for the last 16 months or so.
