Hypothyroid symptoms: t4 free .08, t3 (liothyronine) free 2.4, tsh 3rd generation .07 . doesn't make sense?

2o or 3o hypothyroid: It's always helpful to include reference range for test results so that they can be interpreted appropriately. However, it appears that free T4 & T3 (liothyronine) are at lower limit of normal while TSH is just shy of being suppressed. Because you're complaining of hypothyroidism, these labs are consistent w/2o (pituitary) or 3o (hypothalamic) hypothyroidism rather than 1o (thyroid). Go see your endocrinologist.

Sure about levels?: Did you mean 0.8 and 0.7? If so these are normal and you should look elsewhere for a cause of your symptoms. If they really ate 0.07 and 0.08, your pituitary gland needs to be evaluated.
