Exhaustion

I have been on Levo for 5 years. My blood tests have been good ( for me) over the past year:

TSH - 0.8

T4 - 16.4

T3 - 5.0

Vit D - 98

B12 - 644

Folate - 11.7

Recently I have been started on topical estrogen (Vagifem). Since this I have progressively felt more and more tired. Could anyone suggest some supplements to get my energy back.

Thanks in advance 🙂

Your vit D, B12 and folate look good. So, you don't want to supplement those. But, have you had your iron/ferritin tested? Low iron can make you very tired. Supplements will only help if you need them. More is not better.

Can you add the ranges to your blood test results, please? Ranges vary from lab to lab, so we need those that came with your results to be able to interpret them. :)
