What now?
In 2005 I started feeling very tired all the time, gaining weight without change in diet or activity levels. I had my TSH levels checked and they were 3.07. For my hospitals labs these are borderline, and I was told they needed monitoring.
Skip to now, my symptoms are no better, I'm now cold all the time, dry skin, irregular periods, and generally feel awful. I had a blood test last week, my TSH is 4.78 and my FT4 is 10.9. So both "normal". I said to the GP that i don't feel normal, and my symptoms are just getting worse, but he recommended yet another test in another 6 months.
He offered me antidepressants for the second time, and I refused. He said the tiredness is not thyroid related its probably stress.
I don't know what to do. I feel half dead most of the time. I'm 21 and i feel about 80. Is there anything i can do? I can't really afford to go private but if i do, am i going to get any resolution? I just don't know how much longer i can go on like this but i can't see what else i can do.
