Welcome to our forum and I had never heard of this condition before. Neither have I seen it mentioned on the forum.

Other members will respond if they have any knowledge but this is a link which I've just read:

Are you taking any vitamin D?

Have you had vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 tested

This article is very interesting about sleep disorders being linked to low vitamin D and low B vitamins

Good vitamin B complex mag help peripheral neuropathy

If you are taking vitamin B complex, or any supplements containing biotin, remember to stop these 3-5 days before any blood tests, as biotin can falsely affect test results

For full evaluation you ideally need TSH, FT4, FT3, TT4, TPO and TG antibodies, plus vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 tested

I don't take Vit D it makes sick when I take it. Just like when taking magnesium supplement. What happens is that I keep drinking water/ pee every 15 minutes over the night until morning. I'm not sure it is related magnesium or other minerals that are high or low.

I also had great difficulty tolerating vitamin D. But it was key to my improvement

Low vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 stop Thyroid hormones working

You are on relatively low dose Levothyroxine (especially for a male)

When you take vitamin D it probably is suddenly allowing thyroid hormones to work

One of the side effects can be as diuretic getting rid of swelling and mucin

What is your vitamin D now?

One option is to try tanning lamp or specific vitamin D lamp

(I did this more on my profile. It proved the symptoms were due to increasing the vitamin D, not the supplements)

Are you on strictly gluten free diet. Very likely to help
