I'm a bit worried about my thyroid situation. I've been on Electroxin, taking 25 mcg and 50 mcg on alternate days, along with some homeopathic treatment. Recently, my blood test came back with a TSH level of 8.3, but my T3 and T4 levels are normal at 89 ngdl and 7.6 mgdl. I've had thyroid issues for the past 6 years and, initially, I was on 100 mcg of Electroxin. Over the past year, as I began homeo treatments, my doctor gradually reduced the dosage to where it is now. Should I be concerned about the TSH level, and what steps should I take next?

Also, my T3 is 1.26, TSH is 5.43, and T4 is 8.01, which are all within normal limits. But my Vitamin D levels are low at 12. What do these findings suggest? Should I consider getting a thyroid scan done?
