???: Something doesn't make sense. Maybe the numbers are on wrong or the story is not clear. A normal TSH and and elevated t4. And levothyeoxine was started. Re enter the question with more info. Have you been on thyroid meds? Do you have a diagnosis of hypothyroid. I do not recommend using thyroid meds to lose weight!
