Thyroid, chronic fatigue, migraines - help me interpret blood results

Hi there,
Long long story short:
I am recovering (if that is the word - this is my 21st day in bed) after what has been a horrendous mixture of headaches, migraines, extreme lead like fatigue, restless sleep, joint pain, inflamed and bloated body. However this is the 'crash' after 18 months or so of feeling crap more often than well.

I have had three blood tests so far. Two on the NHS which I don't know the results for yet and one private one because I wanted to check out my thyroid in a bit more detail . I want to rule things out properly as well as find out what is wrong with me.

Would anyone who knows about this be able to give me their thoughts?

Free T4 15.2 Range 11.0 - 26.0
TSH 0.98 Range 0.35 - 4.50
Free T3 4.0 Range 3.9 - 6.8

Many thanks

Sophi i wonder if your thyroid isn't being managed 'optimally'? I know we would like to think our GP will do this, but actually we have to be our own advocate. Healtunlocked\thyroiduk is full of helpful people. Rule number one is to ask for your results and get to know what numbers make you feel the best. It's really hard to get to know what's right for you...
