Interpreting bloodwork help!

I finally got my bloodwork back about my thyroid. I have my old bloodwork as well and want to compare. What should I be looking at? What is important to know or see? I hope someone can help!

I see a section on "Thyroid Function" with T3 Uptake and TSH Sensitive - is that it? HELP!

Hi April!

From what I can make of this:

Thyroxine was 13.6(HI) "outside range" - says normal range is 4.5-12.0
Also says in bold TSH, Sensitive and says that I am .12(LO) "outside range" or normal 0.35-5.50

These are not "paitient" friendly and I am going to speak with my Doctor about interpreting them next time we meet in May! Nothing that says "T4" so no clue what other "language" could represent that.
