Was your F/T - 3 high as well?
If you are estrogen naturally or supplements, then the FTs should be done. The T-4 usually runs higher than
FT-4 which is a more accurate test, and other issues can interfere with the Ts, where they don't with the FTs. TSH tells us if we are either hypo or hyper and the FTs tells us if we have a thyroid problem(s)or the thyroid is functioning properly, in how they relate to each other and with the TSH.
The three most common illnesses with this type of analysis are (T4 high and TSH high):
TSH-PRODUCING PITUITARY ADENOMA treatment
PITUITARY RESISTANCE TO THYROID HORMONES.
GENERALIZED RESISTANCE TO THYROID HORMONES.
Did the doctor check these possibilities out?
Well, I had RAI treatment to render me hypothyroid, but so far after 10 years it hasn't.
Yes, thyroid meds. are making my TSH and FT-4 go in and out of Labs hyper reference range every other Labs. I am going to exhaust all the doses and then some before taking further action. I've got three more doses to try. I am also having some other autoimmune issues that might be reflecting or interfering with my levels too.

You never should stop your medication without doctors knowledge and approval first. I hope you did! I might not have been the synthroid. Hyper symptoms caused from synthroid would only be those of over medicated. Therefore, the hyper symptoms could have come from the dosage being too high. Which in that case you would need a med. dose reduction. If you are having a reaction from synthroid or the like such as rash, etc., (mainly from the binders/fillers/dyes) there are other brands to switch to. Not mfg. use the same ingredients, so there is one out there that no doubt will work for you.
There are many reason why our thyroid levels will fluctuate. At lot of issues can effect our levels such as; what we eat, how/when we take our meds., seasons, area ( are or have you been around of a lot of boulders or by the ocean, high elevation), stress, illness, other health conditions and medications. Etc., etc., etc.
All your levels with the exception of the first two earlier ones are indicative of you needing thyroid medication. Being or becoming every hypo can be just as dangerous as being or becoming hyper, which both can cause irreversable damage to our system, coma and/or even death. So I urge you to discuss your thyroid issue and thyroid medication worth your doctor.
We should be very thankful that all we need (most of us) is just a little pill and today, that little pill is available. Because back before thyroid disorders were known and treatment for them, people were locked up in the Looney bin for life because they were thought to be crazy when in actuallality it was thyroid issue, and, 50% of thyroid patients died of thyroid conditions.
I don't know about you or the rest out there, but I am very thankful for thyroid treatments and that little pill. It could be worse - daily insulin injections, iron lung, wheel chair bound for life, etc., etc., etc.
I'll get off my soap box now and say good luck - good health.
Just my personal opinion and/or experience. Always discuss your health issue with your doctor , always adhere to your doctors advise and, you always have the right to a second opinion. Nothing is a 100% or a 100%, 100% of the time. However, we are not all alike!
