A member asked:

Is it possible to have normal tsh, ft4 and t3, (liothyronine) but still to have thyroid problems?

Unlikely: There should be at least some abnormality with one of those labs. Unless youre on a thyroid replacement already.

Yes: You can be hypothyroid due to "tissue resistance" or "receptor insensitivty". Ie--where the thyroid hormone levels and TSH are normal(as the pituitary is still susceptible to negative feedback) but the peripheral "end organ" tissues or receptors do not respond normally to the tropic effects of thyroid hormone.

TFT: That means your thyroid function is normal.
