Do you have Hashimotos, also called autoimmune thyroid disease, diagnosed by high thyroid antibodies?

Have you had vitamin D, folate, B12 and ferritin tested? These are often too low and affect thyroid

How long since dose increased? Bloods should be tested 6-8 weeks after each dose increase

Did you have different brand of Levo for the 25mcg? Not all brands suit everyone
