Babr has given god advice.

You are on a 25 mcg (half of 50 mcg) dose of T4 medication which is a common starting dose.

T4 medication takes up to 6 weeks to stabilize in your blood. So re-testing in 8 weeks is reasonable.

I would like Barb STRONGLY recommend or even DEMAND that BOTH the Free T3 and Free T4 tests are done.  It is VERY important to stress and make sure of the word "Free" in front of both of these tests. T

This designates the difference between the free hormone in the blood available for use, as opposed to the "total" test which counts both the free and the unusable hormone that is bound by a protein.  Free and available is what you want. As with the total test, you have no way of knowing what portion of the total is actually available for use.

If you Dr refuses to test for Free T4 and Free T3, then I would recommend you try your best to find a new Dr who will test for these.

I also agree with testing for Vitamin B-12 and Vitamin D3.  With B-12 you will want to be WELL up into the higher portions of the range.  The reference range for B-12 is usually extremely wide.  And being below I would say 700 would be suspect and in need of raising.

Being low of either or both B12 or D3 will both cause fatigue.  very low B12 can cause tingling and nuimbness of the extemities like hands and feet and possibly permenate nuropathy.
