Autoimmunity Thyroglobulin Antibodies 93.600 kU/L (Range: < 115) last year result 115
Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies 28.5 kIU/L (Range: < 34) last year result 32.2
I have not been taking any supplements as I have been getting hives and wondered if any of the supplements were causing them. Since stopping them all my levels have gone down, except for folate which has increased.
July 2018 thyroid levels were similar to what they are now when I was taking 150mcg levo. daily. I started with panic attacks then so reduced the levo. to 132mcg. daily. On this reduction my November 2018 levels were T4 18.1 and T3 5.28.
What I do not understand why my T4 has risen again and a decrease of T3 on the same dose. The only thing was in November I only left 17 hours from last dose of levo. to blood test and this time I left the recommended 24 hours. Could this have a bearing on the result.?
Any thoughts on this please.
I am also still feeling panicky, could this be because of the over range T4.
Also sleeping more, headaches, ache all over and generally feel flu like.
Any advise is really appreciated
Thank you,

I will have a good read of it all.
I agree that the longer between last dose of levo. and blood test, I would have thought FT4 to be lower not higher.
I will drop down to 125mcg. levo. then look at adding some T3.
I do not think for one minute my Doctor will prescribe it.
I live East Yorkshire, do you know if there are an specialists in this area, if not I will email Dionne.
I will restart my Vit D.
I never thought I had Hashi's even when my
Autoimmunity Thyroglobulin Antibodies were 115, as Medichecks range then was 0 -115 and the report said I did not have hashi's, even though I was top of the range.
They now the state the range as < 115 so I assume they mean 114 or less is not hashi's, and 115 is.
I have been tested twice for celiac, but both times came back negative, but if going gluten free would help I will give it a try.

Yes I did wonder if my daughter and I both have the DI02 gene variation.
She cannot tolerate levothyroxine, she felt poisoned on it and did not feel much better on NDT. She has only found improvement with T3 only.
I will look into testing the DI02, I have looked at the Blue Horizon gene test and it says it looks at the T4 to T3 conversion, is that testing the DI02 gene?
I have thought before about 23andme. but think I read they do not now include the test for DI02.
In the mean time I will go gluten free.
I did try in a couple of years ago, but in the ten weeks I did it I had three sudden severe episodes of diarrhea, vomiting and awful stomach cramps. I thought it was a tummy bug the first time, but when it happened another twice, I wondered if it had something to do with going gluten free or if I had been accidently glutened, although I never had these symptoms when eating gluten before.
I restarted eating gluten again and did not have any more episodes until before Christmas, I suddenly had one, came on suddenly again, so obviously nothing to do with been gluten free.
Anyway I will give it another try and not add the T3 yet.
