please see response on this post

your ferritin level is probably a little on the low side for someone with thyroid issues (there is research suggesting that the lower range for ferritin in patients with thyroid problems should start 20-30 units higher.

your folate and B12 levels are also below range - all of which suggests an absorption problem. - and a B12 deficiency as suggested by your symptoms (though they are difficult to evaluate given the overlap with thyroid).

suggest that you talk to your GP about starting on B12 injections, using the protocol for neurological involvemnet.

Please see a new Dr. Normal TSH is 1.0, your Thyoid antibodies are out of control. Your B12 is below range as is your Vit D, Ferritin and Folate. If your GP cannot see this they need reporting to the Medical Assoc! Ask to be tested for Coeliac Disease. And the correct dose of levothyroxine.
