I am doing the best i have in 10 years after getting my TSH down to 0.3 from 6.0. I've lost weight once I got from 30 mg of Natural Desiccated thyroid to 120 mg. down 20 lbs just getting my thyroid optimal. T4 only drugs don't work for a lot of people. Get on Thryoid.
Hypothyroidism causes LOW STOMACH ACID = severe heartburn. I suffered for years. Take Betaine Hcl with pepsin with your protein meals. google how to find your dose.
the low stomach acid has wrecked havoc on your digestion system so you need to supplement with pre and probiotics foods and then a high quality pre and probiotic so you can properly absorb your meds and nutrients.
low iron and low ferritin, low b12 is common in hypo (low iron storage( ferritin) causes hair loss).
READ this site and get educated. You wont believe everything that will get better once you get your thyroid optimal.

I live in the sticks and there are at least 5 doctors within a 90 minute radius that have functional medicine training that take insurance. Plenty of them don’t but look for someone in a traditional practice. This is a good tool.

Call and ask what tests they perform and if they prescribe T3.
Mine doesn’t take insurance but I can pay her and submit an invoice to my insurance. I get paid back once I hit my deductible at the out of network level at 80% in about 6 weeks. All of the labs she orders are covered at 100% if I go to an in-network lab.
You could be what is called pooling which is why the Reverse T3 is important.

You could also have iron issues as someone mentioned.
Have you had any genetic testing done? Do you know if you have the MTHR mutation? If you don’t know it’s best to take only folate and not folic acid. The folic acid can also pool.
This also sounds like adrenal fatigue. Do you have hard time getting up in the morning? Tired but wired at night?
Are you taking your basal temperature?
