TSH levels high but T3 and T4 normal, am I hypo?

[NoNRG]

I went in to the Dr. because I was having GI problems and I was tired all the time. I mentioned that I also get cold very easily in comparison to others. He said it sounded like IBS.
Tests come back and my TSH is a 12 (twelve). A week later I take T3 and T4 tests. They start me on 50mcg levothyroxine after the test.
Four days after starting the pills I am told to stop taking them because my T3 and T4 levels are normal and that my first TSH test must have been a lab error.
I didn't even know what hypothyroidism was when this all started, but now I've found out that my mother (whom I don't speak with regularly) has had hypo since she was 40. I'm 22 now, am I hypo, are the tests wrong, should I see a specialist?
Thank you for any suggestions, I'm really confused.

In order for us to make any suggestion we need to know about any symptoms you have.  Symptoms are the most important indicator for possible thyroid issues, followed by the biologically active thyroid hormones, Free T4 and Free T3.  You only were tested for Total T4 and Total T3, not Free T4 and Free T3.  Those tests show the total amount in your blood.  Most or that is bound to protein and therefore biologically inactive.  The small potion not bound to protein, thus called Free, is most important.  You should make sure they always test for the Free T4 and Free T3 every time you go in for tests.  Also, since your TSH was that high, you should get tested for the possibility of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.  Most frequently the antibodies of Hashi's show up in the Thyroid Peroxidase antibodies test (TPO ab)  Less frequently it will show in the Thyroglobulin antibodies test (TG ab).

I am 33,  lab results are as follows:

T3 - 102.0
T4 - 7.40
TSH - 12.83

kindly guide me what to do and how to get TSH reduced to normal level.

[gimel]

Thyroid test results should always be compared to reference ranges shown on the lab report.  So please post those for the T3 and T4.  

Why did you decide to stop the medication?  What symptoms did you have before you stopped the med?  What symptoms do you have now?
