Hi I would appreciate any feedback you can kindly offer. I had covid back in jan and although it was mild my eyes went red. I have had all the symptoms of subacute thyroiditis since . Good and bad days. Dry eyes tired ,soft stools, weird anxiety, teeth weird sore neck and the feeling of a marble in my thyroid. I managed to insist on my GP to do another full blood test after a bit of fuss.

TSH 2.67mU/m. 0.4-4.0

Free thyroxine 13.5 pmol/L 11.5-22.7

Free T3 5.8 pmol/L 3.3-6.1

He said the results all seem healthy ? My last blood test had a TSH of 1.36

He said I could take some meds but I feel reluctant to do this in case I get used to them and start a dependency . Does any one have any thoughts on the results? What should I do. It’s hard to put my finger on it as sometimes I’m ok? I eat v healthy and don’t drink or smoke. Thanks in advance
