...if you are feeling unwell it may be worth asking for other tests to be done. FT4 FT3 and Anti-TPO. When you have the results post them here again with the ranges. Maybe you are not converting T4 into the Active T3 - or could it be Hashimotos - Auto-immune Thyroiditis. All these things should be clarified.

Also the following should be tested and need to be at the top of their ranges B12 Ferritin Folates Iron vitD - everything goes downhill when these are low.

How long have you been on T4 - are you taking it away from food/milk ? - at least an hour. How is your gut health ? Any allergies/sensitivities ?

Will look out for your next post....

Hi thanks for reply I've been on it a year last june i have a goitre but was scanned n had nodules but not cancer i suffer with a lot of sinus n throat infections i also suffer with eczema inside my ear canals. I take levo with food in morning

Ive had iron test back in july n was fine but due to being tired i now take a multi vitamin with extra iron init so if body should need it will absorb it

They check me for diabetes yearly n I'm ok, also done gluten wheat n dairy over a year ago n said was fine

...you really need ranges of your results. Your Doc may say fine to you - and you are not fine - so do ask for the results and ranges and post them here. You are entitled to your results - and it is important you keep your own records to monitor your progress. No-one will look after YOU like YOU. If they have checked all the things you mention then ask them to test the items I have suggested.

Taking levo with food is NOT a good idea - it should be taken at least an hour away from food including milk. Maybe this is why you feel unwell....you are not getting enough T4 into your system. I think you need to make plan and follow through on tests/results/plan of action. Hope you soon feel better....
