Needing advice... Underactive thyroid

I joined this forum to get a bit of advice from healthcare professionals regarding the activity of my thyroid gland.
For 10 years now i'm experiencing various weird symptoms that always led me to think about underactive thyroid. It started with light head spinning back in 1999 and foggy sensation from time to time (just like if i was living in a dream). Then, a few years later i started to lose my hair and felt anxiety on a more frequent basis than usual leading to a moderate diastolic hypertension. Nowadays, 10 years after the first symptoms started, i've added awful amount of body weight (15kg through the past 10 years) on top of all previous symptoms + heavy constant fatigue through the day  + everytime i perform a blood checkup, my cholesterol is a bit higher than the lab "acceptable limits" (around 2.2 or 2.5 g/l when the limit is set to 2.0g/l)
Moreover, here are the historical results i got through the past 7 years regarding my thyroid gland :

2002 :

TSH : 5,865 mUI/l (0,400 - 4,400)

2004 :

TSH : 5,151 (0,400 - 4,400)

2005 :

TSH : 2,784 (0,400 - 4,400)

may 2007 :

TSH : 5,849 mUI/l (0,400 - 4,400)
T3L : 6,4 pmol/l (3,5 - 6,5)
T4L : 14,6 pmol/l (11,5 - 22,7)

november 2007 :

TSH : 3,603 mUI/l (0,400 - 4,400)

April 2008 :

TSH : 2,922 mUI/l (0,400 - 4,400)
T3L : 6,2 pmol/l (3,5 - 6,5)
T4L : 13,6 pmol/l (11,5 - 22,7)
Anti TPO : 31,0 U/ml (negative if < or = 34)
Anti TG : <30 U/ml (negative if < or =  60)

december 2008 :

TSH : 2,767 mUI/l (0,400 - 4,400)
T3L : 5,7 pmol/l (3,5 - 6,5)
T4L : 11,5 pmol/l (11,5 - 22,7)


march 2009 :

TSH : 2,569 mUI/l (0,400 - 4,400)
T4L : 12,69 pmol/l (11,5 - 22,7)

15th of October 2009 :

TSH : 4,980(0,270 - 4,200)
T3L : 5,3 pmol/l (3,1 - 6,8)
T4L : 14,5 pmol/l (12 - 22)


As of today, none of the dozens of GPs + 1 endocrinologist i've been seeing have been suspicious about those results.

Any advice from an expert about all this ?
