tsh is not reliable: Tested for thyroid function and these numbers prove it. T3, t4, free t3 (liothyronine) and reversed t3 (liothyronine) on the proper test for thyroid function and TSH is a waste of time. Get the right test if the symptoms are there.

All normal: Tsh stands for thyroid stimulating hormone. It varies within a certain range to maintain appropriate thyroid hormone levels (t4 ; t3). The number can also vary between different labs with different assays to measure it. That being said, there can also be up to a 5% variance within the same laboratory.
