New here, advice about tests/Levothyroxine appreciated!

Seeing GP this Morning...
Hi, since I last posted I’ve been taking levothyroxine 25mcg and ferrous fumarate 210mg (twice daily for the iron). I had a thyroid panel done by medichecks and also tsh done by my gp the same day. My tsh is still hovering around 3 (2.9 range 0.24-4.2) and my ferritin after nearly three months of iron

Folic or ferrous fumarate
Which is better for preventing birth defects? Can I use ferrous fumarate instead of folic acid?

I was initially found to have high cholesterol back in 2016. It was 5.8 (<5.0) I have also been getting white plaques of skin around my eyes, the nurse said that

I am so very confused about what to do with my situation. Anti-parietal cells have been confirmed in 2013, but I've not had treatment for this. I am repeatedly told my diagnosis is not something I need to worry about at the moment. In terms of facts, my most recent blood test taken on the 12th June 2018
