Oh well, at least you know and can rule things out...Actually, what was your TSH? You may have read this before on PB but in case you haven't, a lot of doctors are still using the old standards to judge thyroid function. It used to be that a TSH of 5 was still considered in the normal range but the newer standards stop around 3. Also, the more progressive doctors treat depression by reducing the TSH to .5 (point 5). I think Pfinstegg posted something about this recently.
