Grateful for your thoughts on my latest Medichecks results.

I've been on Levo for approximately 10 years, and currently on 150mcg per day. I had a full Thyroid UltraVit test in Feb 2018 because all my symptoms returned a couple of years ago. After that test I acted on helpful advice from this forum and supplemented my vitamins etc. Earlier this week I had a second Thyroid UltraVit to see what effects the supplements had had, and I'd be grateful for your views on the latest results.

FEBRUARY 2018 RESULTS WERE:

TSH: 0.881 (Range 0.27 - 4.20)

Free Thyroxine: 18.5 (12.00 - 22.00)

Total Thyroxine (T4): 98.3 (59.00 - 154.00)

Free T3: 4.63 (3.10 - 6.80)

Active B12: 161.00 (25.10 - 165.00)

Folate (serum): 6.25 (2.91 - 50.00)

Vitamin D: 70.4 (50.00 - 200.00)

Ferritin: 213 (30.00 - 400.00)

Thyroglobulin antibody: 31.20 (0.00 - 115.00)

Thyroid Peroxidase antibodies: 269 (0.00 - 34.00)

SINCE FEBRUARY 2018 I HAVE BEEN SUPPLEMENTING WITH:

Vitamin D 3000iu Better You spray; Vitamin K2 MK7 200ug (I now know 200 is too much and will reduce when the current pot of pills runs out); Methylfolate 1000mcg; Magnesium Glycinate 200mg; Selenium 200mcg.

NOVEMBER 2018 BLOOD TEST RESULTS:

TSH: 1.33 (0.27 - 4.20)

Free Thyroxine: 19.20 (12.00 - 22.00)

Free T3: 5.18 (3.10 - 6.80)

Active B12: 118.00 (37.50 - 188.00)

Folate (serum): 19.58 (3.89 - 26.80)

Vitamin D: 84.8 (50.00 - 200.00)

Ferritin: 277 (30.00 - 400.00)

Thyroglobulin antibody: 32.300 (0.00 - 115.00)

Thyroid Peroxidase antibodies: 244 (0.00 - 34.00)

I've got Hashimoto's, so I'm glad to see my antibodies coming down - my plan is to soon go gluten free. Also pleased to see FT3 creeping up, but I think it needs to be higher? But TSH has gone UP, which annoys me. I know TSH isn't critical if I was feeling well, BUT I STILL HAVE MY SYMPTOMS and none of them seem to have improved at all since supplementing for 8-9 months.

Any thoughts on anything above would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Nick :-)
