Hi welcome to HCM....

Here for thyroid you are taking levothyroxine which is correct treatment ...
But for giving comment I want to know your TSH and free T4 value ....

The dose of thyroxine adjusted according to TSH level....
So regularly at three to four month tsh estimation done for searching maintainance dose .....

For RA treatment is correct that is by leflunomide and vitamin D 3 ...

But if RA not controlled by these drugs than further treatment might given with disease modifying drugs ....

Take care ..

Advise : physician consultation ..
