I SWEAR that I have a thyroid problem. My Ob/Gyn did a blood test and referred me to my doctor. She said that the # was abnormal. Everytime that my doctor checks it he says that it is normal. Last time it was 3.5. Is that normal? I have the following symptoms:
Cold hands and feet
A tendency to feel the cold
Depression
Tiredness especially in the morning
Headache
Constipation
Swollen eyelids especially in the morning
Loss of hair
Dry skin
The dry skin is particularly bothersome and I hate the hair loss. I am ALWAYS tired and seem to gain weight no matter what I do. How do I make my doctor listen to me? Should I see an endocrinologist even though my doc thinks that there is no problem? He has no explanation for my symptoms and tells me simply that my thyroid was normal at 3.5.

Ok.
When I was first diagnoised with thyroid problems, I was diagnoised with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (hypothryoidism).
I have symptoms of it: dry skin, brittle nails, I’m constantly tired, I have memory problems, a large goiter, and I’ve always had weight problems.
However- I also have symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
Symptoms I have: I’m nervous, my hands shake, I sweat a lot, I’ve got a 50% chance of running to the bathroom after eating, my hair isn’t exactly what I would call fine, but it is soft, and it falls out.
So is it normal to have symptoms of both? Thank you.

When weather is around 12 (C) degree
my body temp is 35(C) in the morning,
cold intolerance and need to wear alot… of clothes.
bluish Fingernails and will be better after lunch/dinner or shower.
I cannot concentrate on my work and feel tired all the time.
And I have depression and dry skin, all seems to be thyroid disorder.
Will I get thyroid disorder because I have depression?
or I get depression because I have thyoid discorder
or it is something else?
I will check with my doctor, but can you give me some advice? thanks.

And, did the docs treat it? If you were borderline, did they not do anything?
I have been tested as hypo-thyroid a zillion times in the past few years, and I’m convinced I now have it for certain. I am tired, cold, gaining weight like crazy, dry skin, you name it, I probably am dealing with it.
Help. I feel lousy.

Can anyone relate to this? I have many of the classic symptoms of hypothyroidism but I don’t have low thyroid. I just got the call that my blood test showed normal. I have been living with these awful symptoms for two years now, what do I do now?
Thank you everyone for your responses, very helpful. My symptoms are: very bad muscle aches, headaches, cold intolerance, memory problems, FATIGUE, concentration problems, dry skin, dry hair, low sex drive, and some others I can’t think of because of memory problems
