Diagnosed with Hypo in Dec 2018

Been very very tired for last few months new Dr had me have full blood tests B12 Vit D etc. Came back with Vit D very low even though fish Sardines Tuna and eggs erc are part of my die , now taking doses of Vit D. Funnily my own Dr has said this isnt caused by Thyroid but everything ive read says it is! Also found out my Cholestral is also high NEVER had probs like this before Hypo. 2 stone heavier and frustrated as i cant lose the weight even though i eat a healthy diet.

Can anyone recommend any other Vits i should be taking please, just want to feel 'human' again 🤪

If you are tired, overweight, struggling to lose weight and cholesterol is high, these are all symptoms of hypothyroidism and suggest you may be undermedicated.

What are your latest results, including reference ranges, for

TSH

FT4

FT3

Thyroid antibodies

What were the results of your vitamin tests, including Vit D and how much D3 are you taking?

Hi I have eaten very healthily for years but it was by chance 6 years ago that I found my cholesterol creeping up .4 per year. I eventually was prescribed a low level statin and told I had thyroid linked cholesterol issues. Since then my cholesterol readings have been under 5
