Hi,

Your thyroid function looks ok - Continue with synthyroid 100
Vitamin D is low - start on vitamin D which will improve your symptoms.

If you still have symptoms consult a doctor who may check your haemoglobin, cortisol levels, electrolytes, blood glucose etc and help you restore your health.

Good luck

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
