These are all terrible BECAUSE you are so under medicated

Can you see a different GP

How long has GP had these and what supplements are prescribed

They are all terrible and need serious improvements

See these detailed supplements replies from SeasideSusie to low levels

Come back on new post an tell us how you get on

Ask for testing for coeliac too as possible cause, good to rule of before going strictly gluten free

Look up your local CCG guidelines on vitamin D

Some recognise vitamin D deficiency from 30nmol

My CCG it's 25nmol

Eg Oxfordshire

With Hashimoto's we very often need much more. 3000iu-5000iu often recommended for 2-3.months. Then retest. Important not to get level too high. Everyone varies in how quickly they absorb and improve
