With those symptoms and those test results you need to be on thyroid meds. Hasn't your doctor mentioned that?
I suggest that you go back and get them to also test for the actual, biologically active thyroid hormones, free T3 and free T4 (that's FT3 and FT4, not to be confused with total T3 and total T4). If the doctor resists doing these tests, then you will have to be insistent. They're important to know. FT3 is most important because it is four times as active as FT4, plus Ft3 correlates best with hypo symptoms like yours. Remember you are the customer. The doctor is providing a service for you. You should also request that the doctor prescribe a starting dose of T4 meds.
After tests are done, then get a copy and post results and reference ranges here and members will be happy to help interpret and advise further. It is a good idea to always get a copy of test results and note on there how you were feeling at the time and what meds you were taking. This info is invaluable to use as a future reference during treatment.

Your TG ab test result is an indication of autoimmune thyroid disease, which is what most members here have gone through. It would be very helpful if you would post results from all the thyroid tests that were done, along with the reference ranges shown on the lab report, so that members can review and respond. Also, what prompted thyroid testing? Are you having symptoms of thyroid problems?
