David,
My TSH was at 32 and I had absolutely NO sypmtoms. When it got to around 15 on the meds, my only symptom was eating evrything in site. Took more than 3 months to get it back to my normal.

Since it is a routine test and requires no extra blood, if you are asymptomatic, I would have it checked at least once a year when you have other blood work done.

Take care,
Eileen
