Is that TSH a misprint??

The FT3 and TSH are very out of step there

Thanks so much Nick. No it is not a misprint. Back last April my TSH was 104 so it has come down. HOw do I bring balance to this mess? Since this is evidently an adrenal issue should I start lowering my T3 compound? Right now the doctor and the pharmacist are not sure how to treat me. I feel like crying.

Blessings,

Sue in OK

How much T3 are you on? what else are you on?

How long have you been on T3.

The labs make more sense since you are on T3, your original post

didn't mention that.

Can you put the reference ranges to these labs?

The high TSH despite the good FT3 seems VERY strange and possibly

points to Pituitary issues or Hypothalamus issues about which I know

very little.

There is a discussion of the thyroid system here that might help

Can you fill me in on a bit more of the history of where you have come

from and how you feel plus pulse, temperatures, etc.
