Guest guest Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 <<I think it warrants a retest of his blood. He is declining more each day>> Hi, Everyone....Beth....has he had his Vit D levels checked recently. Low Vit D can cause major fatigue and depression like symptoms. Hypothyroidism can be an autoimmune response.....which can also affect Vit D levels. They are still trying to figure which one comes first.....the thyroid issues or the low Vit D, but they are finding that there is a connection. I have learned this with Gareth......also on Synthroid for 1 1/2 yrs now. When you get his blood levels retested, ask the doc to throw in a Vit D blood test to check his level. Gareth takes 3000 iu's daily of Vit D and his levels are still below 30......normal is > 34, I think. Take care, Everyone.
