High TSH and high T4
For almost one year I’m having results come back at varying times with both high TSH and T4 which contradict one another. High TSH Hypothyroidism (which I’ve been for 26 years) and high T4 indicates hyperthyroidism. My endocrinologist and her team act like they’ve never seen this. My health has declined steadily since this cycle started 11 months ago.

I’ve been told that it is possible to go from hyperthyroidism to hypothyroidism. Maybe you need more time for things to settle? Maybe you need different testing? Maybe you need a second opinion? How has your health declined in the past 11 months?
Probably having problems converting Ft4 to Ft3...Ft4 level show you're absorbing levothyroxine med...might need cytomel which is T3 med

I’m wondering if these fluctuations in your Thyroid numbers are due to having had Covid? Covid has caused so much interference in other areas of our bodies that it’s possible it caused your numbers to be off. Sometimes “time” is what we need. Have your numbers run again and maybe switch medications. There are other forms of Thyroid medication out there that may work better for you. Good luck!
High TSH means your thyroid is slow. That with a high T4 is odd but it’s possible you are not absorbing it or you might have an allergy to it like my sister and I. Additionally make sure you are not on Biotin when your thyroid is checked again. My sister and I just take T3 because T4 either doesn’t convert for us or we are allergic. We get very sick and gain weight on it.
