You need to post your results with the ranges (shown in brackets )for folk to advise. You need to have FT4 and FT3 results. Do you have high antibodies ?

You have the right to the blood test results .Do not be fobbed off.

How much Levo do you have left

Essential to keep taking while you get full retesting

All thyroid tests should be done as early as possible in morning and fasting and don't take any Levo in the 24 hours prior to test, delay and take straight after. This keeps TSH at highest level

If you have high antibodies, called Hashimoto's then temporary swings and changes in levels are to be expected

Post your results and vitamin tests

Vitamin D, folate, B12 and ferritin Always get actual results and ranges

Is there another GP you can see?

Welcome to the forum, Sammy_B.

Please post your recent thyroid results and ranges. If you don't have them please ask your GP receptionist for a printout and post them in a new post.

Please see another GP at the practice. If you are overmedicated, and TSH below range does not mean you are overmedicated if FT4 and FT3 are within range, dose should be reduced, not stopped.

Do not understand what you mean by "lost" results.The above is the only post of yours.So find them ,get them from GP and repost.

Antibodies above range is not irrelevant ,it means you have Hashimotos or what GPs call auto immune thyroiditis..Many find going gluten free helps. Antibodies can flare up and nes up the test results. GP s know little of the complications.
