The main issues I am concerned with are 1. chronic fatigue. I can barely make it through the day. I can not put into words how tired I am all of the time. 2. I also suffer from chronic joint pain in my fingers and feet, especially first thing in the morning. 3. Puffy face and ESPECIALLY my eyes. ETA: How could I forget...FREEZING all the time. I literally sleep in double PJ's, 3 blankets & heated throw.
My levels were: T3, Total 138, T4, FREE 1.3, TSH, 3rd gen. 1.43
So normal, right? I just can't figure out what else this could be. My head screams THYROID!!!
Thanks for reading and any input is GREATLY appreciated. |
I had symptoms WAY before I was ever DX through my blood work. My bloodwork always came back okay! I had all the symptoms and always knew something was wrong. I eventually had to break down and have a panic attack before the doctor FINALLY put me on RX!
Don't take no for an answer get a second opinion. Ask the see and endocrinologist. Tell them you know your body and that you know something is wrong.
