So after having to ask again to get my levothyroxine put up to 75(am new and still learning)these are my results after 12 weeks ive been supplementing vitamin d spray ,b complex with b12 and magnesium also finished 4 months course of folic acid on 30 December .my results have improved from my last ones and I'm feeling much better apart from muscle pain sometimes in my arms which is definitely worse when am cold .what I want to know is do I just go onto b vitamin without b12 now my range is up and the other thing is my folate i got it checked on 7th December and it was 20 (3.9-26.8) i was still taking folic acid then but has now dropped to 10.9 do you think i need to stay on folic acid and would this cause the musle pain in my arms .
Also my tsh seems very low , my doctor said results were fine no further action needed, don't really trust my doctor ,I would still be ill on 25mcg if it was up to them
Any advice would be appreciated x

Igennus Super B is good quality and cheap vitamin B complex. Contains folate. Full dose is two tablets per day. Many/most people may only need one tablet per day. Certainly only start on one per day (or even half tablet per day for first couple of weeks)
Or Thorne Basic B is another option that contain folate, but is large capsule
IMPORTANT. If you are taking vitamin B complex, or any supplements containing biotin, remember to stop these 7 days before ALL BLOOD TESTS , as biotin can falsely affect test results
Thank you, so I should continue with super b complex I wasn't sure if I should when my b12 has went from 345 to 557 since using this I thought maybe that was enough but wasn't sure how to keep it up there
All thyroid tests should be done as early as possible in morning before eating or drinking anything other than water and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test
If using private tests, Only test early Monday or Tuesday morning and post back via tracked postal service
cheapest option for just TSH, FT4 and FT3
£29 (via NHS private service ) and 10% off down to £26.10 if go on thyroid uk for code
If one wanted any more evidence about the foot dragging in changing TSH-based recommendations for therapy control, one need look no further than the shaded comment about optimising therapy. When will it finally come through that all the modern evidence is against this notion? The tortoise-like movement in medicine is evident for all to see.
