Can a patient have a "normal" tsh (.437) but with a history of a slightly elevated prior tsh- and still have abnormal thyriod function. If clinically, there are symtpms of hyperthyroidism, is it meaningful to go further and order free t3 and or free t4, and or antibodies? or can I assume that if the tsh is falling into the normal range- that the problem is elsewhere?
