Why aren't you working?

Remember how I got my thyroid lab work done last week?  My nurse called me today during work in a bit of a panic and told me that my TSH results came back at 95 and that is SUPER HIGH.  Even higher than the last high result I got, which was 48.  They're switching my Nature-throid back to Armour and it looks like they increased my dose, too.  I haven't felt too much different...maybe a little cold, and tired.  But not noticeably, and I'm still functioning as usual.  I thought the tiredness was from working, and it's cold in the office because they keep the AC on full blast.  I've been drinking 2 Bai drinks a day to keep me awake - 30 - 45mg of caffeine in each serving.

I also picked up the saliva cortisol test, and I'll be taking it on Saturday.  The day I wanted in August isn't available so I'll have to pick a different day for the results on that one.

I'm also going to go through my thyroid labs, results, and med changes and start keeping track of everything.  Trying to look for patterns and answers.  I don't know why these meds aren't absorbing like they're supposed to.  Ugh.  I'm pretty frustrated. 

EDIT:
Here's the tracker I made:
