Not thyroid: If the TSH is normal then the other symptoms are not from a thyroid problem. If thyroid ultrasound shows nodules >10 mm then needs biopsy. Suggest more blood work looking for autoimmune disease.

Need more blood work: Tsh range is .5 to 5.0 miu/ml so TSH is wnl. With nodules, ultrasound of thyroid may be prudent. Blood work normal so i asume you are not anemic or diabetic. If overweight, may have sleep apnea causing fatigue. I believe more specialized blood work may be necessary as in the adrenal axis-estradiol, dhea, testosterone etc. This problem is difficult and you may need referred to sub-specialist.
