F 26 undiagnosed sickness on and off for 4 months - night sweats, sore throat, diarrhoea, general fatigue, oral thrush

I have been getting sick on and off since December. I work as a primary school teacher so exposure to viruses is the norm but this has been really excessive. I've been diagnosed with a suspected respitory infection and then suspected nuro virus. A week ago I was diagnosed with oral thrush which I am now receiving treatment for. My sore throat is particularly bad in the mornings and at night I've had general blood work done (red and white blood cells, thyroid, liver and kidney function etc) and they have all come back normal. The doctor is now suggesting further testing. I would appreciate any ideas / help as I am exhausted from living like this and the doctors are not putting anything together. For further context, I am underweight- I always have been after being born prematurely - weighing 49.5kg and i'm 5 ft 8. I also struggle generally with very cold extremities.

Have you got a copy of all your test results, with their reference ranges?

I'm on the Thyroid UK Health Unlocked group too, and we ALWAYS advise doing that. You're legally entitled to them, and they are free. Or download them if you have online access.

Post them here, or on the Thyroid UK one too - people on there are fantastic. Drs don't always interpret them properly I'm afraid. Members there have masses of experience.

I just have this on my nhs app, is this what I should post? Thank you

Thyroid function

Is that all they tested? It wasn't very much. But yes, do post on the thyroid group here, and I think you'll get some help there.

Since you mention Oral Thrush..this is a suggestion

You are malnourished. Start taking Complan every day. Banana and Strawberry are lovely.

I would also ask your GP about Early Menopause.

Hi, thanks for your response. Which of these symptoms suggest this to you?

[Hidden in reply to catcat333]

Underweight/ inactive immune system/ night sweats/ fatigue/ oral thrush.

I've got my serum ferritin results back - 19 ug/l. Could this be the cause of my symptoms?
