Vit D level 77nmol/LB12 level 461 ng/L (197 - 771)
Folate level 4.2 ug/L (2.9 - 18.7)
Ferritin level 147 ug/L (20 - 260)
Second thyroid test in 2 weeks
T3 3.86 pmol/L (3.1 - 6.8)
T4 18.1 pmol/L (11 - 23)
TSH 1.9 mU/L (0.27 -4.5)
The endocrinologist I have through Spire has also requested TSH binding site inhibitor globulin level. This result 2 weeks ago was recorded on my NHS test result as 1.76 u/L (<1.74) and the GP phlebotomist telephoned to say the lab had informed her the blood had been too old. The new result has not yet arrived on my NHS test page.
I am on 200mg/ day of Almus thyroxine.
Now I have a more complete picture does it seem my thyroid health and medication are ok please?

Yes the last levothyroxine was over 24 hours before and I take B12 1 x 100 ug and D3 2 x 62.5 ug.I take 200 mg levothyroxine last thing at night and on rising my vitamins 1 x 20 mg omeprazole and 2 x 30 mg etoricoxib.
Rather than just taking B12, add in a separate daily vitamin B complex too
a good quality daily vitamin B complex, one with folate in (not folic acid) …This can help keep all B vitamins in balance and will help improve B12 levels too
Thorne Basic B recommended vitamin B complex that contains folate, but they are large capsules. (You can tip powder out if can’t swallow capsule)
currently cheapest on eBay at £18
IMPORTANT......If you are taking vitamin B complex, or any supplements containing biotin, remember to stop these 7 days before ALL BLOOD TESTS , as biotin can falsely affect test results
In week before blood test, when you stop vitamin B complex, you might want to consider taking a separate methyl folate supplement and continue separate B12
With serum B12 result below 500, (Or active B12 below 70) recommended to be taking a B12 supplement as well as a B Complex (to balance all the B vitamins) initially for first 2-4 months.
once/if your serum B12 is over 500 (or Active B12 level has reached 70), stop the B12 and just carry on with the B Complex.
