OK, good - write in FT3 as "T3, Free", FT4, "T4, Free" and "TSI Antibodies"


Stopping the meds is probably what stopped you from being even more hypo at this point. I would definitely tell her you stopped - is it possible you've gone hypo? You need those FTs to know for sure.


TSH is meaningless. TSH is meaningless. TSH is meaningless. TSH is meaningless.

Get the idea? TSH matters NOT. You need to know your FT levels. Free T levels are the levels of thyroid hormones in your body that are available for you cells to use. TSH is meaningless!

Good luck with those test!
