May be OK: If your T4r level is normal this could be a transient spike in your TSH which may return to normal in weeks to months or it could be the early stage of true hypothyroidism. In cases like this I suggest waiting 3 months and then having your doctor recheck your free T4 and TSH, If the TSH remains above 10 you may need to start taking thyroid hormone
