I am taking 2 ferrous Fumerate a day with 1g Vitamin C 2 hours away from food and 4 hours away from 100mg Levothyroxine that I take late at night away from food, vitamins and minerals. I also take 200mg Selenium. I also take vitamin A, E and folic acid.
My question is... Why has my TSH gone down so much in 5 weeks, why is my ft4 high and ft3 low? I am totally confused... What is going on?...
I am still fatigued, brain fog, forgetful, broken sleep, abit of anxiety, gluten free, diary free and much reduced sugar... Don't know what to do next? I am still off sick from work... Feel light headed when I go up the stairs or get up from a seated position... Can't stand for long without feeling weak and last but not least... Peri menopausal symptoms have hit me with a vengeance when I was a couple of days into being off sick! Hot flushes... Night sweats, I'm soaked during the day too!!
Can anyone help?... All the buses have come at once!

Not supplementing Vitamin D as it is mid range. Does it need to be higher? If so which vitamin D and what dosage please?
I am not taking a vitamin B complex... Which one would be good?
My doctor wants me to change my Levo Fromm 100mg to 75mg on alternate days... Is that wise when this could reduce my ft3 further so I feel even more exhausted?... I'm not sure.
Good B complex usually recommended is either Thorne Basic B or Jarrow B right
When my FT4 was above range I felt very grim. Lowering dose from 150 down to 125 did help - a much bigger drop that you are considering. It wasn't easy, took a while to rebalance.
My B12 was over range, (not as high as yours) and I had never supplemented. I suspect this was due to very low B5. (Apparently all the B's need to work together) Now I am taking Thorne B complex and oral spray B12- more on my profile
I am not supplementing B12 at all. Last year I used to take bee pollen tablets, I think they had a lot of b12 in?... Not sure but they did help with my energy levels. At that time I wasn't feeling as bad as I do now!
Before doing that ............Might be worth posting on PA site asking about possible causes of very high B12 result when not & never have been supplementing
Sounds likedrenals to me, plus you dont appear to be converting the free t4 into t3. Easiest wayvto try and work out what is going on, is to get a thermometer, take your temperature three or 4 tines a day and plot the averages on a graph..... You are doing the graph to track changes from day to day.... I did a post about this a while back...... Will add the link in a mo.....
