    And that's a problem. Most docs test for TSH only for which the normal range is very broad, up to 4.5 from memory. Any TSH that's 2 or higher should really be investigated further. Suppression (sub-clinical, etc) can easily occur but because your TSH is "in range" many docs look no further. A more modern range for TSH is .3 - 3.0.
