Which antibodies are they?

Presuming T4 and T3 are in fact FT4 and FT3, you appear under-medicated - TSH is too high, FT3 & 4 levels are too low. TSH should be at 1 or below, or where ever it is necessary to raise your FT4 & FT3 optimally for you to be well. On levothyroxine that is generally a FT4 in the upper half of the range, and a FT3 in the upper quartile. Your FT4 is exactly midway and your FT3 below midway in their ranges.

Are you separating your iron by 4 hours from your Levo, and taking your Levo either 1 hr before food and drink and 2 hours after, excepting water?

hi they say they are Thyroid peroxidase?

yes all separated.

[MaisieGray in reply to kelbw77]

In that case, you have Hashimoto's aka autoimmune thyroiditis. Were you aware of that? It cannot be medicated for, but you can make various lifestyle/dietary changes such as excluding gluten and/or dairy from your diet, which may be helpful to you.

No have to see the Dr next week wanted to go in with some information he didn't want to do those tests had to really push for it, had read about autoimmune diseases within families (my mum has coeliac)

[MaisieGray in reply to kelbw77]

Now you have those results, it's good to have it noted in your records, as having one autoimmune disease predisposes you to having another, or even others. There's much information online about Hashimoto's which is good as your Dr may know very little, and may be dismissive of the result; so read as much and as widely as you can about what you can do to self-manage it. You might read Dr Izabella Wentz' book The Root Cause, which many find useful, but as I said, read widely.

Thank you so much I will look into it myself and also the dietary changes
