Hello,
Good day. Sorry to hear about your wife
Yes, her TSH is high at 10. But that alone wouldn't explain her tiredness. She is working 12 hours a day and that itself can make her tired. Besides, if she is too weak and tired, better to check an 8 AM serum cortisol. You have to do tests to find reasons for Low Iron and Vitamin D. How is her sun exposure ? Does she has wheat intolerance ? If she gets gassy feeling in stomach after eating wheat, she may have celiac disease which can explain the reason for low iron and vitamin D. You may meet one of the endocrinologist in Mumbai or Pune who will be able to help you,
Regards
Binu
