just logged in and checked my lab results!

Have there been TSH ?
It is possible to have hypo without hashimoto , if you are postpartum for instance , you need to monitor your TSH every six weeks until you are on optimal dose of Levo, then test every six months !

Best wishes ,

That is the right thing , since TSH should not been tested on intervals less than six weeks .

The TSH of 5.14 is high enough to start you on Levo, which is what your doctor is going to do as I recall from your other posts .

Repeat the TSH in six weeks since the start of the Levo .

Best wishes ,

What's the lab range for free T3? And, was your free T4 tested? TSH is high.

Your T3 should optimally be in the upper quartile, not just normal. There is a big difference. I found this helpful, as well as the link on interpreting your lab results:

I have recently switched to Armour (contains T3 with the T4) from levethyroxine, and feel almost 100% better, better than I have for 3 years. I have Hashi's but have friends who have hypothroidism and take Armour, as well.

Keep doing your homework. You are your best advocate. Doctors don't know everything there is to know. I've had to educate a few along the way these past 3 years, persuading them to allow me to try Armour after confronting them with research, and to up my dose until I felt well, even though my lab results said all was "normal".
