hi, my vitamin D was 73.60 (50-200). Should I be aiming to get it a bit higher?

For context I have active Graves and currently on 10mg Carbimazole (this was reduced from 20mg after these results came through)

here are my thyroid results:

T4 9.5 (11.8-21.6)

TSH 1.02 (0.27-4.2)

T3 4.2 (3.9-6.8)

any insights would be appreciated.

Do you currently supplement vitamin D?

Right to reduce carbimazole, the FT4 is below range & FT3 very low. Currently hypothyroid.

thyroid function should be rechecked in 6 weeks to check levels are in range.

I thought I replied but I can’t see the reply anymore!

Yes I’ve been supplementing vit D but have been a bit slack recently. I’m taking 2500 IU, should I take more?

Yes, going back to Endo in 4 weeks.

Very slightly below optimal. Do you take Magnesium & K2? These are important cofactors for vitamin D.

[Kari55 in reply to PurpleNails]

Yes I do

I think as your not far off optimal if it were me I’d try my best to take it daily & re test in few months. Or tweak it up by a tiny dose.

I just need to be more religious about taking it.
