UK suggest a TSH reference range of .4 - 4.5. The US has changed the peak to be at 3.0.
The reference ranges are determined from a wide population base and do not reflect unique factors to be considered.
I'd say your Doc knows all the facts about you and is correct by saying your TSH is normal.
The FT3, T4, FT4 values, body temp. and other symptoms will give your Doctor reference to your test results (or a headache interpreting). Time of day the blood was drawn, other medical conditions, age, weight, gender, ...constellation of Jupiter (lol).
I wish I could get the thyroid explained with an analogy, like -saaayyyy- a combustion engine or with a digital logic flowchart.
