Thanks for that Theresa, very useful info.

According to my calculations (could be a mile out!)the reference

ranges are not quite right but still tell the same story:

THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE

3.71 mIU/L 0.27 - 4.20 .37 –6.00miu/ml

FREE THYROXINE

*10.9 pmol/l 12.0 - 22.0 .92 –1.57 ng/dl

correct ref range 11.84- 20.20

FREE T3

6.4 pmol/L 4.0 - 6.8 3.1 –5.9 pg/ml

Correct ref range 4.7 – 9.08

Conv si

Thyrotropin (thyroid-stimulating hormone, TSH) mIU/L 1.0 mIU/L

Thyroxine, free (T4) ng/dL 12.87 pmol/L

Triiodothyronine Free (T3) pg/dL 0.0154 pmol/L

Thanks ,
