Neen,

It sounds to me like you really need a detailed Thyroid panel done. Not just the basic one you get with a routine blood work up, but one that tests your antibodies, T3, etc. You may have to push your doctor to do it, but it will be worth the trouble. Even if your test results come back ambiguous, try & convince your doctor to put you on thyroid replacement based just on the clinical presentation. You will notice an almost immediate difference if you really are hypothyroid. Also, take your temperature first thing in the morning & if it is below 98 degrees, that could be another indicator.

Good Luck,
