Anthony,
Check out this web page, for more on interpreting your thyroid test results:
http://thyroid.about.com/health/thyroid/library/howto/htthyroid-test.htm?terms=normal+test+results
According to this page, free T4 is considered normal betwen about .7 to 2.0
TSH of 1.873 sounds low, meaning it is unlikely that you have hypothyroid.
I am not that well informed about the other types of tests, but it seems you might find more info through the thyroid-info site. Good luck.
BTW, if your cortisol is high, what did the doc say about that? Is it a function of being depressed, or is there possibly an adrenal problem causing the high cortisol and/or the depression?
