Can you please post your latest results, with their reference ranges, so we can see what your doctor considers "normal". That just means they're somewhere within the range, but chances are they're not optimal and it sounds as though you are undermedicated. If you don't have them already, ask at your surgery's reception desk for a print out - don't accept verbal or handwritten results, mistakes can be made, make sure you get a print out. Post them on the forum and members will comment. Ideally we need to see
TSH
FT4
FT3
Thyroid antibodies
Vit D
B12
Folate
Ferritin
