Previous post shows you were very under medicated

You need FULL thyroid and vitamin testing done

Likely ready for next dose increase in levothyroxine

Are you on lactose free diet?

EXTREMELY important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking apart from vitamin D

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)

Is this how you do your tests?

I had that burning sensation when my body stopped converting thyoxin into a usable format. It wa the start of a difficult time health wise as I stopped absorbing vits so by the time I found out the prob was thyroid related I was very depleted in B12, ferritin and probably other vits and minerals. Eventually Dr P advised me to go on t3 only.
