Hi
I have hashimoto for 3 years
I take 800 mcg of Levo in week (100 per day and 200 once in a week)
Lately my levo brand (eltroxin) changed the formula
My blood result is fine ( tsh 1.7 ft3 6.5 ft4 13 )
I feel every first half of the day not good , weak cold ,like a flu but in the evening I feel fine
Anyone know what is the reason for that? It’s related to my hashimoto?
Also B12 and folic acid is in the top of the bar in blood test
Sounds like adrenals
Have you had cortisol levels tested?

As you have Hashimoto’s Are you on strictly gluten free diet?
What vitamin supplements are you currently taking
For full Thyroid evaluation you need TSH, FT4 and FT3 plus both TPO and TG thyroid antibodies tested. Also EXTREMELY important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12
Low vitamin levels are extremely common, especially with Hashimoto’s
Ask GP to test vitamin levels
How much levothyroxine are you currently taking
Always get same brand?
Recommended on here that all thyroid blood tests should ideally be done as early as possible in morning and before eating or drinking anything other than water .
Last dose of Levothyroxine 24 hours prior to blood test. (taking delayed dose immediately after blood draw).
This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip)
If/when also on T3, make sure to take last third or quarter of daily dose 8-12 hours prior to test, even if this means adjusting time or splitting of dose day before test
Is this how you do your tests?
Private tests are available as NHS currently rarely tests Ft3 or thyroid antibodies or all relevant vitamins

Thx for your answer
I take complex b 50
100 mcg of selenium
Vitamin drops 8000 in week ( I deficiency for couple years ,my vitamin d is 20 Range 30-100)
I am not take too much vitamin d because my calcium in blood is high and I afraid to get out of the scale too much
How can I take of the adrenals?
If your calcium is high despite Vit D being low then that sounds like a potential parathyroid problem. parathyroid.com/high-calciu... Ever been tested for that? Symptoms are chronic fatigue, body aches, difficulty sleeping, bone pain, memory loss, poor concentration, depression, and headaches...
I test for that multi times
My endo not sure if to send me to surgery or not
bones test ok and kidney ok and MIBI test not found toumor
Maybe the reason I feel bad in morning is the levo company change the formula
I retest thyroid in 6 weeks but waiting too much it’s suck
Maybe try taking your thyroid hormones at night instead of a.m. As long as your stomach is empty as food might interfere with the uptake of levo.
Unfortunately for us, hypo, a change of something in the tablet can affect some us negatively.
If having a blood test early a.m. miss night dose of levo and take after test and night dose as usual (if you decide to trial a switch of times).
Hi Adam1805, had also experienced feeling low energy in the morning and fine later on so divided my dose of levothyroxine and take part at night and the balance in the morning, so far so good, have much more energy.
Morning or night to take Levo?
Blood tests fine, but I´m feeling exhausted
Feeling fine is this normal?
Why do I feel so bad?!!
