Received my vit d results today, which is low. I also had my results back from the doctors, although it seems they don't check ferritin anymore so will have to do that one myself too!! I have also included my finger prick results for my thyroid. I am still suffering from fatigue, but also internal shaking.
Your vitamin D is far too low. Were you supplementing at all? Aiming to improve to around 100nmol.
Vitamin D mouth spray by Better You is good as avoids poor gut function. Suggest you supplement 3000iu for 2-3 months and retest. It's trial and error what dose each person needs.
Once you Improve level, very likely you will need on going maintenance dose to keep it there.
Thanks for replying. I haven't been supplementing vit D no. Will look into getting some. I'm taking 100 of levo, so will ask to increase. I do take B12, although I know I slacked off a bit as I kept forgetting to take it! How much selenium should I take?
Suggest you supplement wth good quality vitamin B complex, one with folate in not folic acid, like Igennus Super B or Jarrow B-right
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
