Your last test is within the "new" normal range which has an upper limit of 3.0. My last test was 2.55, so I am high-normal on the range... but still symptomatic, which is what I am going by, and so I will be seeing an endocrinologist to check the OTHER levels of thyroid hormones, such as T3 and T4. My point is, you can have levels that are completely within what Drs consider "normal" and yet still be symptomatic, which means that more adjustments need to be made.
I have concluded that we must be our own advocates, listen to what your body tells you and ask your Dr to treat your symptoms, NOT YOUR LAB RESULT!
