Thyroid probelms

[Melbeing]

Hi all

I have been taking levo for about 10 years now. I currently take 125mg per day..well sometimes I take only 100mg. I take 25g Wockhardt and the 100mg is Actavis. I fluctuate doses somedays of the week at the instuction of a doctor, as one of my readings is fairly normal and the other is low (can't remember which)

Over the last few years i have been experiencing increased stiffness and aching, especially in my buttocks, top of leg bone, lower back and general aches throughout my body and great stiffness in the morning. I use to be a very bouncy, athletic person, and now some days I feel about 70 and am completely shattered.

At the moment I have very bad pains in my sacrum and down my legs and very stiff joints. I don't sleep very well and often wake up in pain. I am 55 so don't know if these are symptoms of menopause?

i am feeling rather miserable.

Any thoughts as I am struggling?

If you post your latest blood test results with the laboratory ranges then people can make some good suggestions. Are you on any other medication besides thyroid meds?

Do you know if you have been tested for autoimmune thyroid disease (high antibodies) also called Hashimoto's

Also very common to have low vitamin D, folate, B12 and/or ferritin. Do you have any recent tests for these, if so post them too
