The high antibodies mean that you are positive for autoimmune thyroid disease aka Hashimoto's. This is where antibodies attack the thyroid and gradually destroy it. There's no actual treatment for Hashi's, it's the resulting Hypothyroidism that is treated.
You can help reduce the antibodies by adopting a strict gluten free diet which has helped many members enormously. Gluten contains gliadin which is a protein thought to trigger antibody attacks and you don't have to be coeliac for gluten free to help where Hashi's is concerned.

So an average of 75mcg Levo daily plus 6.25mcg T3.
So with these results
TSH - 2.51 LAB RANGE MIU/L 0.27-4.20
FREE THYROXINE - 17.04 pmol 12.00-22.00
Total T4 - 103.4 nmol 59.00- 154.00
Free T3 - 3.9 omol- 3.10-6.80
Your FT4 is just about half way through it's range but T3 is very low. I agree with Marz that at this point an increase in T3 is needed. I would increase by another 6.25mcg, see how you feel. There's probably room for a further increase if you feel the need and maybe retest after that.
It's a long slow process, I'm still tweaking my Levo/T3 after nearly 18 months
Me to nearly 2 years now since having a baby and I got this thyroid problems. It's driving me insane. Thank you for your response. I will increase my T3 and see how I go x
Guys just another quick question, I have now increased my T3. Do I need to increase my T4 as my TSH is mid range? Or will T3 cytomel help with my T4 (TSH levels)?
