could be the case as one of my daughters has a normal tsh but her t4 is only 11 as well

Did she have a viral infection at the time of the test? Flu can lower your white cells. The gp should have ordered another test in a few weeks..

Not that we know of. She was mostly cold. Less energy and urinating more than usual. She is due another blood test in two weeks

Hi thyroidnodules, my white cells and neutrophills were low when I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. (No idea what the connection is , later after more bloods, I was deficient in vitamin D, low in range for ferritin (stored iron) and low in range vitamin B12.

Not sure what the connection is, but another family member also had below range neutrophils and white blood cells and was certainly Hypo, though the Doctor did not diagnose it.
