Welcome to the forum, Chelsea1990.

High TSH plus FT4 below range means you have primary hypothyroidism and need Levothyroxine replacement.

Thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin antibodies are positive for autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's). There is no cure for 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.

Please be careful if you drive because TSH >20 can impair driving reactions more than being over the drink drive limit.
