Serenity,
I'm not the expert that Lotus is, but am a thyroid patient myself.
You are correct that you need your T3 and T4 levels to make a definitive statement, but let me take a stab at it.
Your body uses TSH to tell your thyroid whether to produce more T3 and T4. Given that it appears to be slightly low, it's likely that you're body thinks it has plenty of T3 and T4--slight hyperthyroidism.
(In contrast, my TSH was high, T3 and T4 low--hypothyroidism--and take Armour thyroid every morning.)
I hope that helps!
Michelle
