Do you have a reference number for her blood levels? Or did you just do this on your own?
The elderly are prone to thyroid changes too...and many of the symptoms you list could be hypothyroid as well. That needs to be checked out.
Sometimes the elderly get so low, they need injections very frequently. Every day for a week, then once a week, then depending on the blood levels, a less frequent schedule.
If the oral absorption is too slow to fix a process of deterioration, then the deterioration continues, in spite of the oral supplement. Remember only a tiny fraction of the dose is absorbed orally if taken correctly --on an empty stomach.
13mcg out of 1000mcg/tablet. Daily injections would be much faster compared to this.
