Oh, group hug on the "normal range" thing, the very words trigger a me I barely recognise. I've just been down this route only this morning with the gp so that thyroid can be investigated. I asked if "free" levels were tested or totals and was told that if, wait for it, the initial test came back "in the normal range", no further testing would be necessary. It's ludicrous having to pay for what is more accurate and informative testing and then would one be into private prescriptions, too, possibly not covered otherwise as outwith the outcomes found at base level? Hmmmmm.....🤔
