i got a thyroidectomy about 10 years ago, so the TSH, FT3, and FT4 i get tested every year. i have been way overmedicated for over a year now, and i am trying to fix it on my own now . I even tested high, and I don't understand why MY doctor didn't figure this out, but that is a learning lesson for me I guess. Looking at your TSH, FT3, and FT4 results they are all in the normal range, BUT everyone is different. The "normal range" is so large, so what is "normal" for you may not be normal for me. Your symptoms sound like you are overmedicated. The crawling/prickly feeling I did not have, but everything else you listed I am going through. I feel better after 3 weeks of lowering my dose, but it has not been long enough to be completely better. You need to lower your dose a little. you obviously feel better on the lower side of normal. Because I was overmedicated for so long I think it is going to take a few months for me to feel 100% better, but i am going to test myself at home to get this corrected. I am 5'11", and when I stood on the scale and saw i was 121lbs, it scared me half to death. I was 11lbs under weight! In the last 3 weeks I was able to gain about 3-4 pounds, so that part is slowly getting better. I still have heart palpitations and some other hyperthyroid problems that I cannot wait to get rid of.
Good luck. Maybe explain to your doc that YOU feel better in the lower side of normal and ask him how you can fix it
