I've been today and apparently its fibromyalgia.

However shes ordered a full MRI of my spine and hips and drawn more blood onlyafter discovering that I started with a scalp problem months ago and today shes confirmed its psoriasis. Another auto immune to add to my list. However she was not concerned about any of the data I gave her around my thyroid. My last results are all in range but very very low. hold I go back to the GP?

results on the left are june and the ones on he right are August

Which results are most recent

Were tests both done early morning, ideally before 9am and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test

How much levothyroxine are you currently taking

You’re clearly under medicated and in need of 25mcg dose increase in levothyroxine, whichever result is newest

When were vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 levels last tested

What vitamin supplements are you currently

Have you had coeliac blood test done

Are you on strictly gluten free diet

I'm not medicated at all. Vitamins are crashing again.Tests are done as you advise.

Right is the most recent.

I'm symptomatic for everything too😬

Previous post shows you are currently not on levothyroxine

healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

Folate is too low

Suggest you start taking daily vitamin B complex

Trial strictly gluten free and retest in 6-8 weeks

Email Thyroid U.K. for list of recommended thyroid specialist endocrinologist and doctors

If/when Ft4 drops below range (despite low TSH) you should be prescribed levothyroxine
