Testosterone: 0.5 (<1.8)
TPO: 39 (<35)
Which I was then prescribed 50mg of levothyroxine which progressively has made me feel more hypo. I started taking iron, selenium, magneasium, vit d3, methyl folate, vit c, multi Vit, b12, b complex, zinc, fish oil, ginseng (Korean and Panay) rhodelea rosea, licorice.

I had stopped all medication and supplements for 7 days before having the blood tests taken below. 2 weeks prior to this I had changed from levothyroxine to Erfa (60mg) for 5 days which made me feel worse. By this point I was bedridden for 2 weeks.

I'm now getting a bit better, but still can't do much and will have bad days like today where I can't manage anything. I 'crash' a lot where I become very slow, total exhaustion and find it difficult to hold my head up let alone keep my eyes open these can last from hours to just 30 mins. I'm currently taking Erfa at 15mg a day for a week will be increasing it to 30mg in a few days according to the TPUK dosage advice for those sensitive to NDT.
If anybody could shed any light on these results it would be greatly appreciated, I need to get back on my feet as I'm currently off work.
Many thanks
