You should edit you post and put the ranges next to the lab results as these vary lab by lab.

However looking at your initial results it looks like you have:

1. Autoimmune thyroid disease - the treatment is levo

2. A TSH which is too high - You want it as near 1 as possible adn the treatment is a dose increase.
