The new AACE guidelines stop at 2.5 for your TSH now. Your 5.5 is very high...especially for a woman who will feel best at or below 1.
The free Thyroxinie index is a calculation of your Free T4, not as accurate as a direct measurement, but the fact that it's low in the range could also point to hypo-T.
Most of these tests that were run are useless. You need to have TSH, Free T3, Free T4, and antibodies tests.
You say your Doctor thinks you have HAshis, but I don't see any tests that would let him or her know that.
