I have had 3 tests that have come back boarderline thyroid. 1 was over a year ago and I’m not sure of level. Most recent TSH was 4.63 and in jan was TSH 4.35
My T4 level normal
I had a pregnancy baby diagnosed Down syndrome
I feel tired a lot and have gained weight can’t lose despite eating nothing and exercise despite making me feel like death due to low energy, brittle nails, brain fog, pins and needles in arms and legs, hair loss, iBS constipation heavy painful periods thin eyebrows hair loss in shower etc etc etc honestly been back and forth to the gp so many times and feel like I’m banging my head against a wall
doctor said not to worry even though we were desperate to try for another baby but feel too anxious 😬
Doctor reluctantly prepared to prescribe.25 thyroxine for 2 month then have more bloods and check levels
Is this the best thing how do I get proper diagnosis or should I be asking for different tests?
something isn’t right and keep getting told it’s anxiety and overweight feel fobbed off
I’m sick of fighting to get answers and having to do own research 🧐
also have pelvic pain and low sex drive and struggle to sleep
keep reading different levels treated different areas of the country just didn’t think I’d have to self diagnose and feels wrong
