Having read some of your other posts here on HU - I cannot help thinking you need a FULL Thyroid Profile done to rule out Hashimotos - auto-immune thyroiditis. So many of your symptoms could be linked to this ... happy to help :-)

So often the GP and the lab will only test the TSH and the T4 - you also need the anti-bodies tested - TPO & Tg along with the FT3. Rarely done on the NHS.

Also some of your symptoms sound like low vitamins and minerals. You will have to ASK for the following - B12 - Folate - Ferritin - VitD. If LOW then so many things are wrong in the body. Not routinely tested - but oh so important :-)
