There are medications and supplements which can make ones tsh appear low . Look at Link + table one and 2 in the link . If you were/are on any of these supplements or medications ,

Drugs that affect thyroid function in patients taking levothyroxine.

Many Dr's don't know this or pay no heed to it
Many drugs and medications can affect thyroid function. Thyroid hormone levels can be altered by drugs at many levels

Thanks. I've looked into this and I don't have any conflicts. What I do have is a complex autoimmune picture with several thyroid antibody types. I reviewed my thyroid tests over the last few years and there does't seem to be a firm connection between free t4 and tsh, and there should be. Back to the endocrinologist.
