Answers:
If your levels are high than you have a thyroid problem.
I have an underactive thyroid. All the symptoms I never would have put together as having a problem. I went to the doctor for allergies and when she felt my neck she said my thyroid was big. I had it checked and my levels were very high, had the ultrasound and radioactive iodine uptake. I'm now on synthroid and feel so much better. My symptoms were dry skin, shallow looking face, I was so tired and I had road rage up the yang yang. I also had gained about 20 pounds. I chalked the weight and tiredness up to simply getting older. I was shocked to find out I had a problem. Anyway, meds have help so much, I no longer want to "kill" everyone who passes me in the car.

This relates to your thyroid glands and working properly. Your lucky you feel no side effects from this. It is better to control your thyroid if it is a medical diagnosis by both blood work and thyroid scans. Just happens to some of us.
