Can someone please help me understand the following:
USS thyroid showed changes consistent with chronic thyroiditis
TPO antibodies were strongly positive at 958
TSH: 0.7
FT4: 22.1
FT3: 4.7
Vitamin D: 97
Thanks in advance! Completely lost x

I'm not sure of the context of that but this short video explains TPO antibodies.
24_1919, High TPO antibodies confirms autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's). Your TSH is low and FT4 high and I think FT3 is reasonably good but can't be sure without seeing the lab ref range.
You appear to be adequately medicated but a dose increase, unless you feel overstimulated on your current dose, may suppress TSH which can be helpful in reducing Hashimoto flare ups and antibodies. Gluten-free diet may also help reduce flares and antibodies.
VitD 97 is in the optimally replete range 75-200.

My endo has supplied me with liothyornine now, im worried about taking it! any advice? thank you!!
24_1919, there's no need to be worried. How much has been prescribed, how much Levothyroxine are you taking and has your Levothyroxine dose been reduced?
I am dropping my levothyroxine down to 50 and taking 10 liothyronine?
24-1919, You can take the Liothyronine with your Levothyroxine. What dose Levothyroxine were you taking before it was reduced?
