Jenbean,
Thyroid peroxidase antibody level of 419.4 means you are positive for autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's) which causes 90% of hypothyroidism. Levothyroxine treatment is for the low thyroid levels it causes. Many people have found that 100% gluten-free diet is helpful in reducing Hashi flares, symptoms and eventually antibodies.

How long have you been taking Levothyroxine?
Positive mitochondrial antibodies are a separate issue to thyroid peroxidase antibodies. See google.co.uk/search?q=posit...
