anyone know if any of the above will interfere with the thyroid or the levothyroxine?

This looks like a patch in which case because it avoids the stomach it wont affect any hormones you are taking.

Did you manage to get your levo dose increased since you last posted?

Are you testing and supplementing low vitamin levels?

Nope the doctor is having none of it and with that and my hrt I’m up 2 stone and I can’t stand it. So thought I would try this patch. Thank you for your reply

Have you tried asking a different doctor for the increase on a 'trial' basis? Sometimes this can go down better.

"doctor is having none of it" ... then your doctor needs to read some of these ( multiple references recommending GP's to keep TSH below 2/2.5 in all patients on levo, some are taken directly from GP update sources) :

use these references to support your request for increase in dose.

it is common for starting hrt to mean the levo dose needs increasing a little ~GP ought to know that too.
