Welcome to the forum

As this is your first post …please add a little of your thyroid story so far

How much levothyroxine are you currently taking

Always same brand?

What are your most recent vitamin results

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking

Cause of hypothyroidism?

Post thyroidectomy?

Graves’ disease/RAI

Hypo - Hashimoto’s?

Always test thyroid levels early morning, last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test

For full Thyroid evaluation you need TSH, FT4 and FT3

(plus both TPO and TG thyroid antibodies tested.)

Very important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 at least once year minimum

About 90% of primary hypothyroidism is autoimmune thyroid disease, usually diagnosed by high thyroid antibodies

Autoimmune thyroid disease with goitre is Hashimoto’s

Autoimmune thyroid disease without goitre is Ord’s thyroiditis.

Both are autoimmune and generally called Hashimoto’s.

Low vitamin levels are extremely common when hypothyroid, especially with autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto’s or Ord’s thyroiditis)

20% of autoimmune thyroid patients never have high thyroid antibodies and ultrasound scan of thyroid can get diagnosis

In U.K. medics hardly ever refer to autoimmune thyroid disease as Hashimoto’s (or Ord’s thyroiditis)

Recommended on here that all thyroid blood tests early morning, ideally before 9am

This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip)

Private tests are available as NHS currently rarely tests Ft3 or all relevant vitamins
