Hi all I would be grateful for any advice please.
My symptoms are: Fatigue, muscle/joint pain, can't get warm, no sex drive, puffy eyes in am, no weight loss since June 2017 and occational palpitations.
My diet is nutritious but as I have PCOS so calorie intake is 1365 which should enable weight loss (but isn't). I take 1000mg metformin daily.
Prior to January, when my symptoms became worse, I was exercising 4/5 times per week. HiiT, Fitness walking and weights. Now I can't walk for 20 minutes without feeling exhausted. (I had previously lost 42lbs gradually between Nov 2014-May 2017). Also, body fat remains at 29% despite the diet & exercise.
Gp has checked my thyroid:-
TSH 4.3 (was 5.0 in August) [0.27-4.20]
T4 15.3 [11.0-25.0]
TPO < 9 U/mL [<34.0] antibody negative
So that result states "subclinical hypothyroidism, monitor TFTs every three years."
Gp is now sending me for :- ESR RF anti TTG Abs Vit B12 AND Folate
This time last year I felt the best ever, now I feel lethargic and my body is aching doing the slightest of things.
Thank you
