Endocrinologist advice

In the last 12 months I have been diagnosed with vitamin D ,iron and b12 deficiency and been dealing with a breathing issue related to gastric problems for the last 4 years. I ended up having an iron infusion and started on b12 injections in March. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and been taking levothyroxine since 2013 and was formly diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease in March, thought to be the cause of my deficiencies.

The GP has recently taken my Thyroid bloods and says they are normal. I have read that ideally the TSH should ideally be below 2 (it has been between 3 -5 since 2013) and T3 should be taken.

I am desperate to feel well and want to give myself the best chance to get well.

Has anyone had any luck with seeing an understanding, knowledgeable Endocrinologist in the UK??
