I just got all my labs back and I'm not sure what it all means.
TSH 4.28
Free T4 1.0
Free T3 2.9
Reverse T3 289
My TSH isn't even close to optimal(1.3-1.8)
Levels above 3.0 are considered indicative of possible hypothyroidism.
My FT4 is close to optimal(1.2-1.3)
My FT3 is close to optimal(3.2-3.3)
I have no clue what my RT3 means. Seems like it's on the high side.
Normal range is 90-350
Could this be blocking my body from using the FT3?
I have an explanation of this in an older post:
Also, I've been taking my temps in the morning when I wake up and the last two days it's been 97 and 96.4. That's using a Geratherm thermometer under the arm while still laying in bed.
BTW, I'm trying to use this site to interpret the results. This is where I got the optimal levels.

BTW, I was tested for Hoshimoto's and those tests came back normal.
Overall it looks like your thyroid is underactive.
