  1. I do not know the normals for your lab, but in my experience they look all right.
  2. TSH-0.05
  3. FIRST THING~ sounds like you need to talk to your doctor. If your doctor won't talk or listen to YOU, get a new one! YOU KNOW when your body is good & when it's not! I refuse to listen to someone who won't listen to me...because they think they know it all since they "went to school for the degree". Well, they didn't go to school & study MY BODY! So, get a new doc, and don't feel bad about it. What if something bad happened to you? Would you hesitate to let that doc know at that point? DON"T LET IT GET THERE!
    I have given several links below to read & perhaps you can read through & understand the different thyroid symptoms & problems.
    Here is some information about myself, plus some symptoms since you seemed to be interested:
    I have low thyroid. I've had it for 10 years. I got it after I had my second child at about the age of 25. If you have low thyroid...here's a great question to answer: Can you see the floor of your house? That was what was asked of me at one point, and to my amazement, the answer was no!
    My signs are: messy house, no desire to do anything...go anywhere, spend time with my kids or my guy, sleep a lot, hard to keep my eyes open at times, HUGE weight gain that over the past years have not found an easy way to take off...so I give up a lot, I have terribly dry hair & don't wash it a lot so it stays strong, I have bumps on my face...not like pimples, but I think it's from dry skin, and perhaps some others that I can't remember at this time...that's another symptom--forgetfullness.
    Here are the "GENERAL" signs for most people: fatigue and lack of energy. Women suffering from underactive thyroid experience heavier menstrual periods. Sluggishness and forgetfulness are symptoms of underactive thyroid problem. Other symptoms of this thyroid disorder are dry skin and hair and constipation.
    If you have high thyroid, or an overactive one, the signs are: increased body metabolism. This is followed by weight loss and excessive warmth and sweating. Persons suffering from overactive thyroid experience trembling hands, irritability and rapid heartbeat or palpitations. Women with overactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism may experience shorter or lighter menstrual periods.
    I take medication, and sadly will have to take 1 pill everyday for the rest of my life.
    Did he/she mention High or Low thyroid to you? Don't be scared, nothing to be scared about. Actually, I think that thyroid problems are fairly common anymore. You just need to make sure you take your medication everyday, otherwise, you only make yourself feel like crud!
    I hope I've helped you!!
  4. T4-20.41
  5. Has your doctor explained those results to you? Your doctor should explain the levels thoroughly. Or, contact an endorcrinologist to discuss your thyroid hormone levels.

  7. well it depends on the units and your lab. If we're talking about mmol/L for T4 then I would say that its low as it should be between 70-140mmol/L. Also the TSH appears to be low by my standards using mu/L since it should be between 0.5 - 5mu/L.

    Don't you have the normal ranges written on your result sheet as well? You could check them out with that. Otherwise nothing beats actually talking to your specialist and getting a correct explanation. Don't be embarassed, after all not everyone has studied medicine and you are entitled to understand your condition!
