Congrats Mel your tests results are great.

Just and FYI they revised the thyroid range so Liza jane is right your TSH would be on th high side. Although over the years it seams pretty consistent

According to the AACE, doctors have typically been basing their diagnoses on the "normal" range for the TSH test. The typical normal levels at most laboratories has fallen in the 0.5 to 5.0 range.

The new guidelines narrow the range for acceptable thyroid function, and the AACE is now encouraging doctors to consider thyroid treatment for patients who test the target TSH level of 0.3 to 3.04, a far narrower range.


But kudos to you for your diligence. I am jealous of your results.

P.S. I love reading any of your posts, they brighten my day
