please can somebody offer advice!

I’ve recently gained a noticeable amount of weight.

I have suffered with fatigue for years and more recently achey joints and muscles feeling weak. Hips hurt regularly

I can alternate from feeling quite hot and sweaty to feeling the cold! Heart palpitations - but I suffer with anxiety so

I generally don’t feel well

I had a medichecks private thyroid test which showed high antibodies and a couple of weeks later an NHS blood test. TSH has dropped since the medichecks test

can someone look at the results and offer any advice?

I feel depressed - I never feel well!

High thyroid antibodies confirms autoimmune thyroid disease also called Hashimoto’s

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.

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

Low vitamin levels are extremely common when hypothyroid, especially with autoimmune thyroid disease 

Exactly what vitamin supplements are you currently taking..if any
