TSH normal-but i'm not (M)

i saw my endo again today. it looks like my TSH is *perfect* as he says at a .6. so now, i need to know why i still do not feel like myself? he is going to change my meds to amorthyroid (SP?) which is a med with the T3 and T4 combo. then i am to see him again in 12 weeks. i knew i was feeling a little better- about 30% but i still expected them to say my TSH was in the teens or something. i was so shocked when they told me it was a .6. my dr. wanted to get me to a .5 and he hit it right on the money with the med increase from .1-1.75. next time he is running the metabolic panel again, CBC, TSH and sedimentation rate (ESR) does anyone know what the sedimentation rate is and what it is looking for?
he told me that either i am one of those people who needs the T3 T4 combo or there is something else going on that we haven't dx. this scares me, as i know something is really worng with me. the last time they regualted me, it happened fast and i felt a significant difference with in 2wks. i felt better then i ever had my entire life! and my level was a 2.5 then. now i am a .6 and i still feel like someone is going to tell me i am dying or something.
so good news and bad, i guess.
