You mentioned in your other post that you suspect you have Hashimoto's. Are you aware that the test you mention here is for Graves'?

Private testing for suspected Graves - TSI or TRab antibodies

For full Thyroid evaluation you need TSH, FT4, FT3 plus TPO and TG thyroid antibodies and also very important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12

have you had any tests done at all yet ? TSH, FT4, FT3 ?

Allthough there are certain symptoms which are more common for either Graves' or Hashi's, there is a cetain amount of overlap, and some people who experience the opposite symptoms to what you'd expect.
