Post Hashimoto's Do I get a good treatment?

Hi
I'm 20. Recently I've had heart palpitations and so my GP diagnosed thyroid problem so now I'm getting treatment from endocrinologist. I would like to ask you if my treatment is right? Im totally new to all this stuff

These are my labs before going on thyroid hormone(3mo ago)

FT4 - 0,80 ng/dL [0,7-1,48]
FT3 - 3,15 pg/mL [1,71-3,71]
TSH - 9,5474 uLU/mL [0,35-4,94]
TPOAb - 803,02 IU/mL [0 - 5,61]
Vit D 29.98 ng/ml [30-100]

Now I take levothyroxine 100, zinc, selenium, and vit D, I also went lactose and gluten free. I'm going to check my labs again this month and go to doc, I do not know if I should change the endocrinologist tho...
I look forward to your reply.
Best Regards,
David

Re: Hashimoto's Do I get a good treatment?

Hi Your dose seems a bit high for a starter dose but it may be what you eventually need. Have you had any issues with it? Have your hypoT symptoms subsided? You definitely seem to need that Vit D too. If you get your symptoms under control with your current doc I don't see any reason to switch to an endo.
