New results, still can't find anything wrong with me

Just got my thyroid antibodies test back, all normal of course.  The doctor didn't test my free T3 for some reason, but that probably would have come back normal as well.  So here is a summary of my results

TSH  May:  3.6
TSH June:  2.96

Free T4:  2.1 (0.8-2.7)
Free T3:  Haven't had that tested

Thyroglobulin antibodies: <20 (<20)
Thyroid peroxidase antibodies: <10 (<35)

The only reason I have to believe that there's something wrong with my thyroid is my TSH, which is normal according to my doctor but is high according to the new AACE value range.  I'm not sure what do do now, maybe I am just crazy after all.  Could my TSH be normal for me, and all of my symptons just due to anxiety?  I was so sure that it was my thyroid when I learned that I was above the new reference ranges, but now I don't know what to think anymore.

If all else fails Matt, you can get on a good thyroid support from your local healthfood store. Wait until after you see the endo though.

Don't give up if you have symptoms, because your TSH is out of the new American Endocrinologist lab range for TSH (0,3-3), but for most doctors 3.5 is not high enough, so they will ask to retest it in 5-6 weeks or 6 months (like my last ENDO ask for)

Well, I made an appointment to go see an endocrinologist who specializes in thyroid issues.  If he tells me there's nothing wrong with me I think I'll just give up.

I have TSH 2,9, feel tired with that and some anxiety and insonnia, when I had TSH 3.5   I was really sick (couldn't do exercise, pannic attacks, etc). Because they are in the "normal" range still not medicated (and my TPO antibodies last time were 815, I have Hashimoto), keep testing every 4-5 weeks, it's what I am doing , doctors want to see how my TSH changes.
