Hi guys me again. Suffering with bad symptoms.

I due to get my bloods rechecked next month, I started taking 2000iu vitamin D spray for about a month.

And have been on my 5mg folic acid for a couple weeks now and just don’t feel any improvement.

Like I feel tired, exhausted, short of breathe over basic things tbh which is making me thinks it’s something sinister with my heart despite checks which might just be my anxiety. Just hate this like I’m doing therapy to help with how I feel about it all but it’s so hard.

Like I get :

Arm pains/tingling/numbness

Exhausted

Tired

weak legs

Chest pressure/tightness

Just loads of random shit and idk anymore if it’s my thyroid and vitamins as nothing seems to get better. Like I have normal blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar.

I did a 2.5 mile cycle today, just to try test my heart rate and stuff, I managed it in 13 minutes despite being 315 pounds. I felt proud but now my whole body is exhausted and in pain. Maybe it’s from a long period of inactivity. I’m just struggling with dealing with this issue.

Looking at previous posts

You had dose increase in levothyroxine too 100mcg 2 months ago

It’s about time thyroid levels were retested

Book early morning appointment, ideally just before 9am and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test

Come back with new post once you get results

Likely to need next dose increase soon

Meanwhile

Presumably you are working on improving low vitamin levels posted 20 days ago

healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

Serum vitamin D level (XE2e7) 37 nmol/L [25 - 300]

Serum folate level (42U5.) 1.5 ng/ml [4 - 27]

Serum vitamin B12 level (XE2pf) 341 ng/L [130 - 800]

Serum ferritin level (XE24r) 125 ng/ml [30 - 400]

Make sure they re-test your vitamins as well when you have your bloods drawn next.. (like Slowdragon says, it's time for a new blood test anyway) I found that folic acid didnt improve my results at all and had to start taking methylfolate to increase my folate levels. It definitely helped with some of my symptoms!

Good luck, I hope things get better for you soon.
