Hi Chrissy:
Sorry you're feelig so awful! Was one of those labs T-3? The TSH does seem pretty low, so it's odd that you're having so many symptoms... maybe it's that you're having trouble converting the T4 into T3... ?
I hope you get answers soon!
Hang in there,
Dee.
I went back to reread your post and I'm confused about the numbers. You have two T4 results listed. Do you mean to and if you do, do you know which ones are which - your Free T4 and your Total T4? If it's a free T4, then your number is above the normal range. If it's a Total T4, then your 9.2 is average. Do you know which is which? Cathy
