Some need to, a minority though, it won't help clearance if you do but

you would be less hypo while waiting if you needed to go higher. most

people don't cross that level but it's not an absolute

Pretty good as long as it's genuine and not a false high. Iron

Saturation of at least 35% is another target to aim for.

No, you don't want to be hyper, enough T3 to suppress TSH, and you are
