Looks good, never seen a range that low though

>

a bit low in range but it's the FT3 that matters

 

>TSH...4.83 ( 0.5 - 5.5)

That's high, very high for the FT3 level. Something is not right and

is probably going to get worse, that does not align with the FT3.

I don't know what is going on, maybe antibody tests would help.
