I am not a medical doctor, but your TSH is great, but your T3 is low. I was put on Cytomel, which addresses the T3 and Synthroid for the T4.

FT4 (.8-2) 1.2
So today I had a TRH stress test - waiting for results. Does anyone know why I have a low FT3 - my last doctor just plain said, nope, not hypothyroid or my TSH would be high and not low. Am I not converting T4 to T3 - if so, what kind of treatment am I looking at? Anyone with experience with Secondary or Tertiary Hypothyroidism?
Thanks for listening - now I need a nap
