You could very well be. 25 mcg isn't even a starter dose - unless you're very old. (And, for the record, I'm 73 and don't consider myself very old! lol)

But, you'll know when you get that next test done. Don't forget to get a print-out of the results! :)

Also request vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 tested too

Plus thyroid antibodies

Could any of those cause muscle pain

Low Vit D can cause muscle and joint aches and pains.

You would have to do a Vit D blood test. If GP wont do it then you can do a home fingerprick blood spot test for £29 with an NHS lab which offers this test to the general public:
