I’ve got an endo follow up appointment on Friday over the phone and I’ve had some recent tests back I just want general thoughts on my conversion from t4-t3
Still don’t feel right after 3 years I’m now on 175 thyroxine since September but gained a massive amount of weight since then, general hypo symptoms cold tired no energy weakness in legs and arms pins needles anxiety bloating massive tummy GERD dizzy heart palps chest pain menses all over the place shakiness anxiety attacks constipation and diarrhoea terrible lower back pain and pain top of neck I also have a buffalo hump and stretch marks weight is central with no gain on arms or legs
Tsh 0.02 (0.27-4.2)
T4 24.9 (9-26)
T3 4.7 (2.8-7.1)
My t3 has gone up slightly but continues to remain mid range even though my t4 is at the top range
B12 401 (191-663)
Folate 3.3 (3.3-19.3)
Ferritin 154 (10-150)
I did have vitamin d also done but it doesn’t look like this have come back it’s always been ok previously
My white blood count lymphocytes and neutrophils are slight up but have been previously on tests
CRP is also high ish but GP said it’s nothing to worry about 17 <11
I have pcos too which I take metformin for
I am also asking to have a suppression test done for cortisol levels as GP refused to do a 9am cortisol test
Appreciate any thoughts and thank you

B vitamins best taken in the morning after breakfast
Igennus Super B complex are nice small tablets. Often only need one tablet per day, not two. Certainly only start with one tablet (Or even just half a tablet for first week) per day after breakfast.
Or Thorne Basic B or jarrow B-right are other options that contain folate, but both are large capsules
If you are taking vitamin B complex, or any supplements containing biotin, remember to stop these 7 days before any blood tests, as biotin can falsely affect test results
The present review of the literature regarding B12 status among vegetarians shows that the rates of B12 depletion and deficiency are high. It is, therefore, recommended that health professionals alert vegetarians about the risk of developing subnormal B12 status. Vegetarians should also take preventive measures to ensure adequate intake of this vitamin, including the regular intake of B12 supplements to prevent deficiency. Considering the low absorption rate of B12 from supplements, a dose of at least 250 μg should be ingested for the best results.3
Low vitamin D and low B vitamins may be linked as explained here
