Balance and leg weakness

Hi. I'm currently taking 125 micrograms of levothyroxine and have autoimmune thyroiditis. I have for some time now experienced issues with balance. Also if I crouch down my legs haven't the strength to get me up again. Supposedly my thyroid results are fine. .ie T4 and TSH. I don't know if these issues are thyroid related or caused by some other medical problem. Please advise.

You need to get FULL thyroid and vitamin testing done…not just TSH

Medichecks is usually the cheapest

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking

When were vitamin levels last tested

Any private thyroid test, do early Monday or Tuesday morning, ideally before 9am and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test

If taking any supplements that contain biotin stop these a week before test

Come back with new post once you get results
