TSH test
Hello, now you've got me wondering. How are the tests different from 50 years ago? Are you saying the present blood test isn't very sensitive? I have low energy and get SAD, although I don't have the brittle hair and nails someone else mentioned.

Bottom line is do you feel ok? Blood tests when dealing with thyroid (or any hormone for that matter) are poor indicators of health. Blood tests for thyroid are notoriously bad, especially when you're being treated. This is one of those fields of medicine where you used to be better treated 50 years ago.
Edited to add: have you ever had your vitamin D levels tested? Do you take Vitamin D?
