Vitamin D deficiency is obviously severe and needs treatment contact your GP or Endocrinologist a.s.a.p
Good Luck

TSH is more of an indicator than a precise measurement of thyroid function. Your TSH is definitely raised, which indicates hypothyroidism. What symptoms are you having if any? You will want to request that your doctor test the actual levels of the thyroid hormones Free T3 and Free T4 to better understand how much of these hormones your body has available to use. When you get these results, please post them along with the reference ranges.

Your vitamin D level is also extremely low. You may talk to your doctor about a vitamin D injection, but you can also start supplementing at home with vitamin D3 drops, available for purchase from a vitamin store. The drops can often be found in high doses, such as 2,000IU or 5,000IU-- you can put drops on your food, preferably a meal or snack that contains fat. There is lots of other info on vitamin D on the internet, but the thing to keep in mind is that a vitamin D deficiency can have effects similar to hypothyroidism.
