Hi Deb...
It appears that your TSH is going up.... the reference range you provide, is
being changed to a new one, but not all doctors use it. TSH in the newer models 3.0 is considered the cut off.
A good doctor will not raise thyroid hormone unless sure it is needed. If you get too much for no reason than symptoms, this elevated hormone can increase bone tear down (increase osteopenia or create osteoporosis).. so the trend is to only raise carefully.
Your antibodies are elevated, but interpretation of them requires a specialist.
YOu will want to make sure you are getting enough selenium and zinc...since T4 is converted using those minerals in the conversion enzymes.
Other than that I have little else to offer, sorry.
