Do you have any recent blood tests, presumably you're on Thyroxine? Are you feeling under-medicated? If you could give us more information that would be really helpful.

I personally feel that your doctors could be right.

hi. Firstly my condolensces. I have been through exactly the same experience. i lost my husband, several years ago, at the age of 40. i put feeling so unwell down to stress, but my doctor did blood tests and they came back that my thyroid was underactive. she too was sure that thevshock of my husband's death had brought this on. the olliche time is a great healer is true, but you never forget.
