125mcg appears to be an optimal dose as TSH is low, FT4 is in the top quadrant of range, and FT3 is around half way through range.
VitD around 100 is optimal. You could probably halve your dose until May when ultraviolet levels are high enough to stimulate natural vitD.
Iron is deficient because it is below range. You probably need 3 x 210mg Ferrous Fumarate which should be taken with 1,000mg vitamin C with each iron tablet to aid absorption and minimise constipation. Take iron 4 hours away from Levothyroxine.
catpurple7 Thyroid results look good, how are you feeling on that dose?
Vit D at 106 has reached the recommended level of 100-150nmol/L. You could reduce to a maintenance dose of 2000iu daily, or similar depending on what dose your D3 supplement is.
Your serum iron and serum ferritin are both low. Has your GP commented on this, I'm wondering if it could be iron deficiency anaemia (not an expert on this, just wondering). Has your GP prescribed the Ferrous Sulphate? Are you taking 1 x 200mg tablet a day? There is 65mg elemental iron in one tablet. The normal recommended dose is 2 or 3 tablets a day. One tablet is a preventive dose (see the patient information leaflet that is in the pack).
Do you take your iron tablet with 1000mg Vit C to aid absorption? Are you taking it 4 hours away from levo and other supplements?
Your folate needs to be at least half way through it's range so that's 11.5, you've a little way to go there. Are you taking a B Complex, it's needed when taking B12 to balance the B vits, and it will help raise your folate level.
SeasideSusie I am feeling better than I was on this dose so that's good.
My D3 supplements are 2000iu so I can reduce to 1 a day, I'm not taking magnesium so I'll look into that.
I haven't seen my GP yet I have an appointment on Wednesday, but yes he prescribed the Ferrous Sulphate and said to take 1 tablet a day. I'm not taking it with vitamin c but I'll get some.
I was taking a B Complex until a couple of weeks ago as I found it sometimes gave me really severe stomach pains which I think is the niacin in it.
Was your B Complex Jarrows B Right? A few people have said they've had problems with that. There are other brands to look at Thorne, Nutri Advanced, Biocare, are a few good ones.
When you see your GP, take the patient information leaflet for the Ferrous Sulphate and show him where it says about dosage. I found the information here medicines.org.uk/emc/medici...
And it says:
3 How to take Ferrous Sulfate tablets
The recommended dose is
Adults and the elderly

Good to hear that you're feeling better on your dose of Levo
