This is my second time of posting as I didn’t include all my results and enough information in my first post.
I have had a blood test done through medicheck I followed all the guidelines, to do test first thing in the morning, before food etc.
I already have sjogrens disease, I have been feeling very unwell for a while, I have had two blood test via my GP and have been told my thyroid is absolutely fine and been completely dismissed.
I have a big family history of thyroid disease.
I have also been taking vitamin D 10000 on prescription for a number of years but I can’t seem to get my levels up, again my GP isn’t bothered by this.
I am not a vegetarian.
I am truly grateful for any help and guidance as I feel very lost with it all right now.
Thank you 💗

It's a shame you've deleted your first post because I think there was information in the responses that was helpful and addressed your thyroid results and maybe other things. I can't remember exactly what the replies to your other post said.
I have been feeling very unwell for a while, I have had two blood test via my GP and have been told my thyroid is absolutely fine and been completely dismissed.
I think it was pointed out in reply to your now deleted post that you are undermedicated, your TSH is too high (likely to feel better when it's 1 or below) and that your FT4 is only 31% through range with FT3 only 27.03% through range. I believe I suggested that you need a 25mcg increase in your Levo dose and to retest 6-8 weeks later, with possible further increases necessary until TSH is 1 or below with FT4 and FT3 in the upper part of their ranges.
This post has references and links to articles that show TSH should be kept low in range. Take whatever you need from them to show your GP and ask for an increase in Levo dose:

How often do you take 10,000iu D3?
Is this a tablet, capsule, softgel or what?
Am I right in thinking I gave information about how much Vit D you need to take, plus it's cofactors, for the current level you have (but isn't shown here)? If so have you made a note of all that?
Please add other results, one image can be posted in a reply below. Or type the result/ranges into a reply.
Yes I did because I wanted to post ALL my blood results in one post but for some reason I am having technical issues as I can only post one picture at a time!
I have tried making a folder but I can post that either.
I just felt if I posted all my results individually it would become very confusing.
You can only add one image in the opening post then one image per reply, it's not a technical issue that's just how the forum works and we do encourage members to keep everything in one post to avoid the confusion of having results/information spread over several posts. If you can't add images then type results plus ranges into a reply here.
SeasideSusie my sincere apologies for the trouble I have caused today, I have posted a better image now I hope. I was also struggling on my phone, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
SeasideSusie - I am not taking any Levo medication; I take the Vitamin D once a day - it's a solid tablet. Hopefully you can see the better image of my results now.
With serum B12 result below 500, (Or active B12 below 70) recommended to be taking a separate B12 supplement and add a separate vitamin B Complex after a week
Then once your serum B12 is over 500 (or Active B12 level has reached 70), you may be able to reduce then stop the B12 and just carry on with the B Complex.
If Vegetarian or vegan likely to need ongoing separate B12 few times a week
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 folate supplement (eg Jarrow methyl folate 400mcg) and continue separate B12
