For the last few weeks or so I've been having hot flashes to where my skin get clammy and itll go for so long and leave and its mostly at night & when im trying to sleep but I've been craving hot & spicy, sour & salty foods i also havent been wanting to have sex with my S/O nor give him oral and he's been very understanding & patient and the last few days I have hard bowel movements ive never pooped that much and none of it was soft and since i get weird cravings during my period & ovulation i thought that was the reason but it last way after those 2 things are over so I've taken 3 pregnancy tests to weed that out and i took them spaced put and they were all negative idk what it could be!!!

Could be that you have a doctor that knows nothing about thyroid and isn't doing the right tests/doesn't know how to interpret the results. If I were you, and really wanted to know if I had a problem with my thyroid, I'd get private tests - they whole range of them:

TSH

FT4

FT3

TPO antibodies

Tg antibodies

vit D

vit B12

folate

ferritin

Then you'll have a clearer idea of where you stand.

So, ask at reception for a print-out of your last thyroid blood-test results - if you live in the UK, it's your legal right to have one. Then you can see for yourself. Or show us and we'll tell you. :)
