According to the lab sheet print out from my internist's office, normal TSH values run between 0.4 and 5. There does appear to be much controversy over what these "normal" values are as they do vary slightly depending upon where you are researching this info.

No, it is not normal. As the above poster state every lab determines its own normal range and so there will be some variation in exactly where the cut off will be. However, 9.6 will be listed as abnormally high from any lab. The TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) is the brain's signal to control how much hormone the thyroid puts out so a high level implies low thyroid function (the brain is asking for more).

Interestingly, while every lab would list that as abnormal, and most doctors would give thyroid hormone in response, studies suggest that most people do not feel symptoms or benefit from treatment until it is above 10.
