Vivienneferreira,

TSH 1.81 is a little high for someone on Levothyroxine. Most will feel better with TSH 1.0 or lower and FT4 19-22. FT3 has dropped because TSH is lower. If you are still symptomatic ask your GP to increase Levothyroxine dose to raise FT4 and FT3. Read Treatment Options in

Thyroid antibodies are positive for autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's) which causes 90% of hypothyroidism. 100% gluten-free diet may improve symptoms and reduce antibodies.

Vivienneferreira,

Sure your current dose is working because it has raised FT4 and brought down TSH but there is scope for more improvement even if only increasing Levothyroxine dose by 12.5mcg which will raise FT4 and FT3.

do you think I should just take that bit extra and tell the doctor when I go next?

so you don't think I need t3
