What vitamin supplements are you currently taking

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

Which brand of levothyroxine are you currently taking

Always same brand?

Was test done early morning and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test

Result shows very poor conversion rate

Weren’t you considering adding T3 ?

Hi my vitamins were done last month. I'm only taking Vit C and small amounts of magnesium glycinate every other day. Folate a bit low and ferritin was high. B12 well in range.Adjusted diet due to severe gastritis including many green fresh organic vegetables. So hoping to get folate higher.Can't tolerate B bits yet due to being in severe withdrawals from multi anxiety meds. Long story for another day. B Vits cause my anxiety to go into overdrive even the liquid ones. I take Levo about 5am to 6am 2 hrs before food or drink, except water. Same brand Accord consistently. Still haven't introduced T3 due to withdrawal symptoms from meds. I can't rock the boat just yet. Unless you or anyone you know has been through withdrawals it's so difficult to explain. Multiple symptoms from it. I've become hyper sensitive to most vitamins and foods. Been gluten free for months now.

I thought my thyroid being a bit out may exasperate my other problems. I will eventually start T3 as I have tablets . Thankyou for helping me previously with the T3 etc but I have to hold off for now.

So was last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test?

[HelenR23 in reply to SlowDragon]

Yes it was. I take it the same time every day .

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to HelenR23]

What time do you take levothyroxine

What time was blood test

On day of test …..delay taking Levo until AFTER blood test

[HelenR23 in reply to SlowDragon]

I always do my tests before my Levo and 24hrs after last dose of Levo. I usually take levo between 5am -6am. I did the test 24hrs after last dose of levo then took my levo.
