Yes, this agrees with what I have found in myself
feel bad with a FT4 of 10,11, 12 .. much better when FT4 is 16. I agree too.. you wouldnt exctly call it depressed, at least not bad depression
I've noted that within the people I know who are "normal" (not on any thyroid hormone replacement and feel fine) that there TSH (edit T4? ~ Bob) is around the 18 or 19 level.. mum 19, daughetr 19, ...
range is 10-22, or 10-25, usually , but TSH is always identical no matter what the particular lab normal range is set at. (so are my TSH results)

I've only glanced at the abstract of this one
