So looking at your number you are hyper? Have you been checked for graves disease, and most of all if you have had that doctor for a while and he or she will not check full panel. Find a new doctor because in order to have good answers to work with you will need a full panel, just checking TSH is like knocking on a door with no one home.
TSH
Free T3
Free T4

Here is where it goes into more.

And changing your diet will help alot as well as google yoga excercises for hyperthyroidism &drink plenty of water and find a good multivitamin if you don't already take one best of luck to you.

You definitely should have the full thyroid panel, maggiepi. The TSH is okay for monitoring if someone doesn't have thyroid problems and is stable, but if you've had problems, you definitely need to have the panel.

If you're not being followed by an endocrinologist familiar with thyroid issues, consider finding one. Surgeons tend to be less invested after all the surgical treatment is finished, and GP's don't always have the current knowledge to help stabilize you.
