Hi I have low thyroid diagnosed 4 years ago but I think I have autoimmune problems as well? Thinning skin, bruising easily, hair loss, constipation, joint pain, dry eyes, weight loss and weight gain, depression, sweating but feeling cold. I take 150mcg levo but gp has been adjusting dose behind endo's back. Advice appreciated thanks

It might be easier for members to comment if it's practical for you to share all of your recent blood test results (e.g., TSH, FT4, FT3 with their reference ranges) along with any vitamin and mineral levels that you've obtained (e.g., B12, vitamin D, iron, ferritin, folate etc. with their reference ranges).
Has your GP increased or decreased your dosage of levo.? Was it in response to your symptoms or your blood test results?
Do you have the results of any thyroid antibodies tests? Have you been tested for other auto-immune markers such as ANA?
Sorry for all of the questions but it can be helpful to have this information.

GP should not adjust dose - especially if it was to reduce it
