Solomon73 - I will delete your duplicated post as it isn't too clear what you meant on either post.

For members to comment it is not sufficient just to tick off your symptoms. This is one from Thyroiduk.org.uk.

You will see there are similarities to yours.

First of all you have to make an appointmet with your doctor to have a blood test and request the following:-

TSH, T4, T3, Free T4, Free T3 and thyroid antibodies.

You can have a private home blood test from one of our labs if you wish and make sure you are well hydrated a couple of days before blood draw and it has to be at the very earliest and fasting (you can drink water).

Most important the blood test has to be at the very earliest, fasting (you can drink water), and if you were taking thyroid hormone replacements you'd allow a gap of 24 hours between dose and test and take afterwards.

Ask doctor to also check B12, Vit D, iron, ferritin and folate.

Get a print-out of your results, with the ranges and post on a new question for comments.
