Thyroid OK: Your lab numbers appear to show that your thyroid replacement therapy is working correctly. Please see your health provider to assess for other reasons for your symptoms.

Possibly not: If your lab tests are accurate and reported in the usually accepted units, 0.88 mg of Synthroid (thyroxine) might actually be too much. Your free T4 and T4 are both slightly high and your TSH is almost over-suppressed suggesting that you may be getting too much Synthroid (thyroxine). This is certainly not consistent with your symptoms of sluggishness. This needs review with your treating physician/Endocrinologist.
