Very High TSH Levels

My TSH level just came back.  It is 43.09.  My doctor prescribed a slight increase in my thyroid medication.  Is there any thing else, like other tests, that should be done?

How long have you had the disease?
How long were you on the old perscription?
How long did you go between the last two tests?
