Guest guest Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 Hi and welcome to the group, While your total T4 level is quite high, this level is influened by estrogens and other meds. The Free T4 level that you'll be having monthly is more accurate and will show a clearer picture of what's going on. PTU will help in bringing your FT4 and FT3 levels down. TSH is a pituitary hormone and takes several months to start rising after you've been hyperthyroid so don't be surprised if this result stays the same for some time.
