Yep, teh doc's suggestion to get retested is a good one. With thyroid, it can change, first of all.
And, the idea of "normal" is controversial--what many docs and labs consider normal is not really normal for everyone. Besides, just last year, they changed the standard for what is considered normal TSH (the most common test).
