My free T3's and T4's are normal but my TSH is only .03.Why?

Update:

Capn no offense taken I've spent half a century on these ideas with debate and conversation on both side as a believer at first and then after some thirty years a disbeliever . and the latter is my preference for many reasons . I don't know if there was a beginning or not and theory is far from conclusive . but I can see all that is cognizant to me now in constrast to a myth that is more unbelievable than life itself and that contradicts itself in so many ways . these are questions one must research and decide for one self no matter which side one takes . Leave no stone unturned and don't underestimate any body of thought . peace out .

Update 2:

the thyroid was ablated after a diagnosis of Graves disorder. the T-3 is high in the euthyroid range and the T-4 is low within the euthyroid range . does this indicate a pituitary malfunction. also I take 10 mg of cortisone per day and have some irregular circadian cycles as I work seven nights a week and have to try to sleep in the day . any opinions further?

    Look at the chart at the website - common causes being subclinical hyperthyroidism or non thyroid illnes when the pitutary stop making TSH.

    You should get a thyroid nuclear scan.

    Yeeeah, hey. You answered my question with:

    "no offense but I can't imagine the belief of a god super being beyond just an open mind to a far fetched and remote possibility."

    You didn't reveal your email but I just wanted to ask you. And just to start out, Im not a religious nut-job, in fact, Im barely religious, Im just curious. What do you think started the universe? Nothing? You think it just happened? That seems even more far-fetched, no offense. But then again, it is beyond human understanding, and that is why people turn to religion, or at least, their beliefs. To get answers for what they don't understand. But anyway, I believe a god had to have started the universe, and if you say the big bang, what caused the big bang? What caused whatever caused the big bang? It all had to start from something, which I believe was an omnipotent being. So yeah, email me what you think, if you'd like, at omgbook@yahoo.com.

    As for your question, I looked it up on google and came up with hypothyroidism, but I really have less of an idea than you do.
