New to the group- low TSH, normal t3,t4 frees positive autoimmune

I am not a doctor, but I would suggest a second opinion. I have Hashimoto’s (autoimmune thyroiditis — hypo) but my Mom has Graves (hyper). Your doctor may be right, but it can help to get that second opinion.

I also have celiac disease (another autoimmune issue) that is often linked to thyroiditis. You might consider ruling out celiac disease which can contribute to weight loss as does having a hyper thyroid.

You doctor may want to see if your thyroid calms down on its own instead of offering medication. Again, a second opinion can put your mind at ease.

In any case, close monitoring should be done. Graves can impact your bones and affect your eyes. Take care!

TSH is just a signal hormone telling the pituitary what to do, and not very accurate.

You need both T3 and T4 levels tested called Free T3 and Free T4- those are the levels that make you hyper or hypo, NOT TSH.

They are simply saving a few bucks by not testing those two. If you paid an online lab and then drove to the nearest LabCorp for the draw, its under $100.
