Here goes:

Ferritin 102 (10-291)
Free T3 3.55 (230-420)
Free T4 .86 (0.80-1.80)
TSH 1.301 (0.35 - 5.50)

This was done non fasting 3 3/4 hrs after half of a 1 and 1/2 gr tab (I take one tab per day, split in 2 doses)
Not having any great weight loss and sweating a lot (but I don't have underarm sweat glands. Long story)

I'm sure others will chime in..T4 should be around mid-range.

i think more T3 and T4. Your T3 is only midrange and many feel better higher and your T4 is low.

So that means an increase or decrease in dosage? I was up to taking 1 full and 1/2 of the tab dosage (1 +1/2 gr per tab)listed above and found myself sweating too much in the summer.
I split my dosage -take a dose in the early am and another around 1 PM. Should I take another around 4 pm??

you should consult with your dr.

He wrote it looked normal when he sent me the lab results, that's kind of why I put the labs out here.

Elaine: Normal is a just a setting on your dryer..No kidding.

I have learned thanks to the good folks here..(Pam

), that you have to be a certain spot on the normal range. T3..top 1/3

You probably need to find someone who can interpret those labs better.
