If TSH is greater than 2, something is wrong, though the reference range goes all the way to 5, and some practitioners will say everything is fine below 5. Free T3 and Free T4 are the values that matter, but most practitioners I've been to rely on total T3 and T4 which is inaccurate since it is the free stuff that is actually available to do the work.
My TSH is 5.7, and the doctor still won't do shit, despite me complaining about obvious symptoms lol.....
Sadly, I'm not surprised. I'm about to try a naturopath in hopes I can finally get somewhere in managing my various medical conditions. If I were you, I'd be changing doctors.
