Self medication is always not advisable for any disease and you have thyroid problem.You have to go for regular blood investigations of t3,t4,tsh,s.calcium and s.b12. Keep in touch with your doctor,regular follow up is needed after every 3 to 6 months in all chronic diseases.
Start levothyroxine under guidance of your doctor.
Take b12,calciun supplement with it.
