When hypothyroidism is secondary (originates in the pituitary) the TSH can be low, normal or high. Free T3 should be in the top 1/4 of the normal range to be optimal.

It is possible that sufficient T3 isn't getting to the places where it is needed. It is also possible that the body is producing anti thyroid antibodies or antibodies against the transporter proteins. There are three thyroid antibody tests that you can ask for. > So while the levels are ok, the desensi- > tization makes one still deficient? > > I never had fillings, so no amalgam ever in my mouth.
