Some symptoms can apply to either/both hyper and hypo; can you please be specific as to which symptoms you have, so we can sort them out and determine where you actually stand.  I see that one of them would have been weight gain (the 10 pounds - which would be a hypo symptom).  

I did notice that you have another thread going, so I'll have to go read that, as well and try to get all your information and the comments into one, so everything is together.

Thank you for your reply........I am getting both hypo and hyper symptoms.....My older sister was diagnosed with Hahsimoto and my mom is Hypo and my identical twin was Hyper.....and on meds but not no more.

I am not on medication and my doctor said she could either make me a specialist appointment or not ?   I am not sure ?   I will ask her for that specialist appointment in the middle of October when I see her.

I think we checked my Alt levels again because they were really high last time....although they did go lower......I think the weight gain has caused this elevation.  I gained 10 pounds.  I also had a myometomy on January 31, 2014 to remove fibroids.   I am now 155 pounds and 5 foot 4inches tall.

Your TgAb and TPOab indicate that you have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.

Are you on thyroid medication?  If so, which one, what dosage and for how long have you been on it?

Your other thyroid tests don't look bad at all and I'm sure you will have a hard time finding a doctor who will treat them, if you aren't already being treated.  

Do you have symptoms of either hyper or hypothyroidism?

Were other tests ordered with the ALT or was that the only one out of range?  High ALT can be caused by several factors, including obesity, diabetes, liver disease, etc.  It's typically ordered with AST, which may or may not be out of range.  It has to be factored in with other tests performed.
