Autoimmune disease?: How are the rest of your labs? Autoimmune diseases may present with your symptoms but these are frequently picked up on blood work abnormalities... Also, is your hair loss patchy with visible bald spots or diffuse? Any joint swelling or pain? Sensitivity to sunlight or cold?

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.
