I'm getting my results back on tues. for TSH, free T4 and free T3, and was wondering if you could help me figure out what they mean when I get them? Today is the first day in a long time that I can actually say I feel good, really good and happy too. I don't care what my TSH levels are (and how can I know what they are day to day anyway?), all I care about is how I feel. I have hope!
