Need some help

So I've dealt with a lot of medical issues throughout my life and am currently dealing with a fun round of "guess what's wrong". Doctors are telling me I have IBS (without ruling out anything first), that I'm dehydrated (despite test results and daily water consumption), and that I'm all manner of things. I just had blood drawn today to check TSH and if I have diabetes. I've had my TSH checked 3 times in the last 5 years so this will be my 4th result. What's interesting is, when I compare those results, there is a clear rise in my TSH levels, though all the results have been within what the labs consider normal (0.10-5.5). I have done some reading which indicates that rising TSH levels, even when still within the normal range, is indicative of hypothyroidism. Hormone disorders run in my family, some with the thyroid and others with the parathyroid. I also have PCOS which, as some of you might know, is a hormone disorder. If this result also shows an increase, would it be smart to request T3 and T4 tests? I've never had them done and I know my doctors won't take the initiative without me requesting things be done (it's taken two urine tests and a stool sample to even get to this point-and I had to force the second urine test when they insisted the abnormal results on the first were a fluke; they weren't). Just trying to get a better handle on what to do and how to deal with all my medical problems without a strong support structure from my medical provider.




For those interested in the details, my past results for TSH were:
Reference range: 0.10-5.50 uIU/mL
08/09: 1.98
02/12: 2.73
08/14: 3.75

And my urinalysis revealed moderate ketones and large leukocyte esterase.

Well, the most recent TSH came in and it was 1.83 so I guess I'm back to square one. Diabetes testing was also negative.

I hope you get this all sorted out , but if for some reason you post your age and you're lets say , 99 years old I would say , ok what's the big deal , 1 more year and you get a shout-out on The Today Show with Willard !!! , sorry my bad humor , but seriously , keep after the doctors

Haha, I'm actually 24, so pretty far away from reaching 100.

I dislike posting in other peoples forums, but I thought that I am supposed to post in a forum where the topic is already kind of being discussed. I really hope yours gets figured out, and soon! I know I dislike having my problems... been 3 months for the abdominal pain.
Most of my doctors have thought that I have had thyroid issues or anemia. I have been seeing a therapist for awhile now and my medication provider decided to check my labs again just to see if things have been overlooked. Well being military I can see my test results;
my Thyrotropin is 4.510 and my cholesterol (good and bad) are pretty elevated as well (268 - should be under 200 and 166 for the other one i believe).
my FT4 i believe is 0.95 or 0.96
I've started having issues with abdominal pain, but I don't have a diagnosis for that yet, not sure if this is the appropriate place to post stuff with my bowels...
Anyways, I have suffered with depression and anxiety for a long time, and just recently after getting on zoloft i've gained 20 pounds!!! Ugh i hate it! But does the elevated thyrotropin and cholesterol generally mean that hypothyroidism could be the culprit?
Thanks for letting me rant :)

Hypohashimoto,
Thank you so much for your response. I'm waiting for my medication provider to give me a call regarding these results, but I have an appointment to see her December 9th to go over the labs so I figured she'll probably wait to see me regardless. What exactly IS hashimoto's thyroiditis?
