Default Hypothyroid help (maca/magnesium/iron/calcium)

I need help with my supplements and what can be taken with other supplements etc and I am hoping someone here can give me an idea of what to do.

My health issues are:
Hypothyroid (treated graves with RAI) with synthroid 175 dose. Last TSH .4
Type 2 diabetes (levels fine now with regulated diet)
Borderline Anemic

A few others like TMJ/Eagles Syndrome and Dr suspects fibromyalgia (Endo apt in January.

After pulling hair and teeth with a Dr that does not seem to take my chronic pain/fatigue/weather sensitivities/depression/anxiety/stress etc and other symptoms seriously I've started having to do a lot of research and am trying some things out on my own but I'm having a hard time with what supplements I can take with others as I have to be realistic and know that taking 3/4/5 different times a day, I will forget some. So here is what I'm working with.

Aprox 2 hours before bed (all at the same time)
Magnesium citrate calm 1 tsp (205mg)
Brad Kings ultimate anti stress 2 capsules
Blackstrap Molasses 2 tbsp

so for the first set my concerns are mostly with the BSM as it has calcium, iron, magnesium,copper,vitb6 in it and I'm wondering if this is going to take away the effectiveness of everything else etc.

The magnesium has turned my life around. I can sleep again without waking every 15-30 minutes, taking another 15 or so to fall back asleep. My energy from the magnesium is something I have not felt for over ten years so this one is huge for me.
Brad kings is mostly for the Valerian as in the past that has helped with falling asleep.
Iron, I've been on iron pills for years and I am only now just creeping into the low/normal range so I'm trying BSM to see if it works better.

Morning pills:
Synthroid/levothyroxin 175
Maca energy 2 capsules

I'm finding very little on Maca and Synthroid combined. One site is saying it helps your body absorb the synthroid better so beware of hyperthyroid. Others say when taking at the same time it inhibits the absorption so not to take together. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Midday supplement (if/when I remember it) calcium 600mg with d3400 ui.

Can I put the calcium/d3 in with my night batch?
Does the night batch have to be tweaked?
Anyone familiar with Maca and hypothyroid?

I'm not even sure if this is the right forum but I'm having a hard time finding where to go.

Thank You
