Default Confused about thyroid test results

I have been on levothyroxine for many years (.2 mg or 200 mcg). I'm confused as my lab tests were normal a little over a year ago and the recent one done last month was:
TSH 13.71 high
T4 free 0.9 normal on the low end
WBC 3.3 low
Absolute Monocytes 191 Low
Total Cholesterol 224 High
HDL 66
LDL 94
CHOL/HDLC Ratio 3.4
NON-HDL Cholesterol 158
Gobulin 2.1 Low
Albumin/Globulin 2.2 High

All the rest of the labs were normal

Anyone have a clue to what may be going on?
Thanks!

I realized I was eating all the wrong foods. Broccoli (alot of it...almost daily), bran, soy, caffeine, calcium; etc.
Began the Low Carb 7/12/2012 and I must say I feel better.

Hey Christie56, it might be worth reading some of the other thyroid threads here, or stopthethyroidmadness.com for more info.

I have no personal experience yet (hoping that will change once I'm diagnosed and get some treatment) but many people recommend desiccated thyroid such as Armour in favour of the synthetics.

Good luck, I hope you find a balance that grants you health and wellbeing.
