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?

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
