Starting on thyroid : You may have taken your thyroid before the test. That will cause a false elevation. Also, always make sure you are paying attention to symptoms. If you are feeling better, and symptoms are improving, then you should continue taking it. Also, it takes 4-6 weeks of being on thyroid to get a true read on your thyroid status by labs.
