Most importantly....how do you feel?

On Armour you would expect TSH to be lower if on high enough dose.

Obviously you need FT4 and FT3 tested plus TG thyroid antibodies, ferritin and vitamin D.

Have you had higher TPO antibodies in previous tests?

Folate is very low

Iron low too.

Come back with new post once you have Medichecks test results and ranges
