The only way to know what is wrong is to have a proper thyroid blood test of FreeT4, Free T3 and TSH. You may find it hard to get your doc to do the FreeT3, as they consider it irrelevant. Actually, it is most important as it will show whether the thyroxine you are taking is being converted properly in the body. You could ask your GP but otherwise will have to go privately. There are ways of doing that via Thyroid UK. Ask Louise Warvill in admin for details. When you have the results, post here and someone will comment. Do hope you start to solve the thyroid puzzle soon. So hard fighting all the time to feel normal.
