Years ago the suggested guidelines were 2.5 - .5 . I never felt good at .5. When the new guidelines came out and tsh was kept closer to .1 I feel much better.

Here's a interesting link to tsh guidelines. According to this article you are well within acceptable tsh limits.

I enjoyed reading your link, especially were it says TSH between 4.5 and 10 need not be treated. A thyroid book that I bought says the same thing but I wasn't sure if I should believe it. I think I will now. Thanks.
