Yes; without trying to sound like an MD (which I'm not) I've heard of
people who test within "normal" (usually near the low end) but who seem
to function better, and *feel* "normal" themselves when their levels are
higher than what is considered "normal" for the general population.  I
mean, isn't this "normal" level a sliding scale already (i.e. a TSH
between X and Y amounts) and it is based on the general
average...therefore most would be at Z or at W before not feeling right,
but some others could be more sensitive and be at X and feel horrible???

Just my thoughts on that..d.
