    OK so now I am totally confused!!!! Doc call me around lunch again. Says my totals are:
    Total T= 573 (249-836)
    Free T = 16.45 (5-21)
    % free = 2.87 (1.5-4.2)
    TSH = .56 (.35-5.5)

    Wow, I am floored!! My initial total last Mon was 370. He has no reason for the big change. I thought he was just trying to fudge the numbers so I went by and got a copy of my lab results, and they were right. How could there be that big of a jump?

    test levels fluctuate..

    did you take both blood tests upon an hour of awakening or close to?

    These are healthy numbers...but as mentioned by other who know; then can fluxuate.

    What were your cortisol levels?

    My guess is that life events are hurting you. STRESS (which has been my best friend my entire 50 years on this planet) can be a really bad thing and exhibit all the symptoms of low T and hypothyroidism.
