Your TSH is right where it should be. I think your symptoms may be a result of something other than your thyroid.

TSH and hypo- and hyperthyroidism are confusing. If TSH is too high, then you are hypothyroid, if it's too low, then you are hyperthyroid. When the TSH is high, it means the thyroid is not producing enough thyroid hormone for the body thus causing one to be hypo. When the TSH is low, then the thyroid is making too much thyroid hormone, thus making one hyperthyroid. It's kind of confusing, I know.
