HI It could be a virus, often we think all is thyroid In any case I would be sure to have a Diabetes test, for the cold, worse than with thyroid, TSH, T4 and Free T3, to check levels, FBC ( full blood count) and U`s and E`s, kidney function.Then, you will be better placed to have it sorted when you see the endo.If. seeing Endo, I assume you have had up to date tests for D, corrected calcium ( if low), B12 + foliates, iron/ferritin. These should be done annually with thyroid disease. More if required. Thyroid tests much more frequently. be sure to have a print out + ranges and take it with you.The FBC will show if you have infection , and the U`s and E`s.
I would also phone the Endo`s sec and ask for a cancellation, docs are good at forgetting!Say you can manage a last minute on too, that is quite likely.
Never take 'you are in range' as a positive. You have to get a print-out of your last blood test complete with the ranges. Just ask your surgery - you are entitled and post on a new question for comments. Always keep a copy of your blood test results for your own records.
If you are on optimum thyroid medication, your pain should disappear, insomnia and all clinical symptoms but you have to be on the right medication for you plus optimum dose.
