not sure what’s happening

[Sppr]

I went back to the doc yesterday as I’ve been feeling terrible (take 75 Levo per day, hashimotos), for blood tests.

Here are my results. He said I’m converting well but need to go back to adjust medication.

he said it’s not an explanation as to why i feel so terrible. ( tired, eyes bulging, heavy periods, hair loss and massive weight gain)

Any clues?

ESSENTIAL to test vitamin D, folate, B12 and full iron panel test for anaemia including ferritin

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking

When were vitamin levels tested

Have you had thyroid antibodies tested for autoimmune thyroid disease

Have you had coeliac blood test done

I asked for the vitamin tests etc… they said no need. My insurance doesn’t cover it so I’m not sure if that’s why.

I take magnesium and vit D and calcium.

I have thyroid antibodies.

No Coeliac test done

so you need to pay to get these vitamins tested as next step

And coeliac blood test

Heavy periods can result in anaemia

Hair loss frequently linked to low iron/ferritin

he has started me on T3 today… says this should work

and ESSENTIAL to get vitamins tested

Nether levothyroxine or T3 will work well if you are vitamin deficient or anaemic
