See endocrinologist: You are correct that your symptoms are consistent with low thyroid, but could also be several other general medical illnesses. In my practice, i recommend patients with similar symptoms consult with an endocrinologist after having had a thorough evaluation by an internist. Physical exam, detailed history, plus lab tests should narrow done the diagnosis.
