We'll look forward to viewing your blood test results when you get them. Remember to include the laboratory ranges when you post them on the forum then people can give you some good suggestions.

Never accept fine, good, or normal with regard to blood tests.

Always post your results with the ranges. Fine etc. may mean you are within a range(even the bottom) when we need to be towards the top of it.

Do you have the earliest possible appointment, fasting (you can drink water) and allow a gap of 24hours between last dose of levo and blood test and take levo afterwards?

B12 and Vit D have to be at the optimum. B12 for instance towards 1,000. Vit D also near top as both are prohormones and have essential work to do in our bodies.
