The aim when on Levo is the have a TSH around 1 (the lower part of the reference range) and FT4 & FT3 in the top third of range.
Lab ranges vary so please include them. otherwise it’s guesswork. By most ranges we see the FT4 look ok but the FT3 is low.
Important to test folate, ferritin, B12 & vitamin D. if these are optimal Levo work work well. In range is acceptable for GPs but you need to ensure they are optimal.
For your eyes clean 2x daily with eye lid wipes or solution such as bletherasol.
The best remedy is to get an eye mask which can be heated or a wheat bag which can be microwaved & apply for 10 minutes per day.
As PurpleNails has mentioned, we need the reference ranges to be able to properly interpret your results, but we can already see that your TSH is far too high for someone on Levo and that your FT3 is very likely low in range. I'm guessing your FT4 is possibly mid range or a bit higher in range, I don't believe it's low in range.
So those results certainly point to you needing an increase in your Levo to bring your TSH down to 1 or below, then see where the FT4 and FT3 lie, it's possible that you may not convert well.
But it's essential to also test the key nutrients that PurpleNails has mentioned so perhaps make that a priority.
As for your low cortisol and non-existent DHEA, presumably you've had a 24 hour saliva adrenal test? Are you seeing a practioner? What's happening to treat this?
When were vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 last tested
Burning feet is peripheral neuropathy, often linked to low B vitamins
Please add ranges on these results
How much levothyroxine are you currently taking
Results look like you’re under medicated
If not already on strictly gluten free diet
As you have Hashimoto’s presumably you have had coeliac blood test done?
If not, get tested BEFORE considering trial on strictly gluten free diet
Bloods should be retested 6-8 weeks after each dose change or brand change in levothyroxine
Low vitamin levels are extremely common, especially with autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto’s or Ord’s thyroiditis)
Low vitamin levels common as we get older too
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?
Private tests are available as NHS currently rarely tests Ft3 or all relevant vitamins
