    It is difficult to comment on your results without knowing the reference ranges for the lab the tests were done in.  Also the cause of your hyperthyroidism.  Your TSH would be considered in the normal range in some labs, however, even though it is in the normal range, for myself I like my TSH a little higher (1.0 to 1.5) and I strive to get it there and keep it there often requiring supplements.

    It is difficult to comment on lab tests that have no reference range beside them because the range for normal differs from lab to lab.  Your TSH would be considered in the normal in some labs, however, even when my TSH rose into the normal range, and I was happy to finally get it there, I preferred to keep it at the level of 1.0 to 1.5 and take supplements to do this.  Ask for a printed copy of your results.  They usually list the ranges on printed copies.
