Unhappy Can someone with mild hypothyroidism help me????

I got a panel of test done awhile ago at a different doctor and today I picked the print out up to take to my other doctor and boy was I ANGRY :-( This doctor I went to then never told me the results of any of the test ,just said everything is normal! Please tell me what you think of these numbers:

T4 Total-10.8
T4 Free - 1.22
TSH-S,- 4.8
Insulin- 60 fasting
Hirsutism 2 Testos, Free- 11
Free Testost-1.6
Testosterone- 67
Sex Hormone Bind G - 0.9
Lipoprotein A- 17
DHEA- SULFATE- 67
Prolactin,S- 15
FSH- 5.6

Some of these things I know and some I do not but almost all of them were marked with an H-Flag with ment high! Right I'm really upset and confused.Can anyone help?
Thanks !

The TSH and the fasting insulin both look high to me. My TSH was just over 4 and I've been put on meds, so you should definitely get a better RE and look into that. Good luck!

TSH is high. There is a lot of controvery over what the normal range is for TSH. Most doc say it's .4-4.5 or something like that. However, a good dr will keep your TSH between 1-2.

According to the new normal range on TSH (put out by the AACE) a normal TSH would be from .3 to 3.0 which means you are definitely hypothyroid and should be medicated.

You may already know this by now but I thought I'd try to help.

Unhappy insulin looks high

Whoaa, that insulin looks high. I think 60 is normal for an hour or two AFTER YOU EAT (during GTT)! Not with fasting. Get another doc to review the results!

This page has a chart for interpreting standard PCOS test results. The tests you list are mostly on there (you just have to scroll down far on the page).

OMG! First I have to say bananasmom's baby is SO CUTE!!!

I agree with everyone else; TSH and fasting insulin are high. Also, isn't 67 high for testosterone? I thought it was supposed to be under 50.
