Endocrinologist: Your symptoms do sound like hypothyroidism. Did you also have a free T4 and T3 (liothyronine) checked? In any case i strongly suggest you see a specialist - an endocrinologist to help sort this out and get you feeling better.

Thyroid "normal": As you obviously know all your symptoms fit into hypothyroidism. What you may not know is that the so called normal range thyroid levels is rather broad. You may very well still be hypothyroid. I would suggest seeing an endocrinologist who may be more liberal in your lab readings.

TSH historically 4.5-4.7. Recent TSH was 6.02 uIU/ml. Primary care MD repeated the TSH and added T4 Free. Results = TSH 3.56 and T4 0.96. I have severe fatigue, muscle aches, sensitivity to cold + some hair loss. Could this be hypothyroidism?

I'm symptomatic of hypothyroid (hair loss, fatigue, cold, fuzzy head...) TSH=3.73 and T4=14. My Dr has said it can't be Thyroid. Is this correct?
TSH 1.38 UIU/ML, Free T4 1.35 NG/DL. Are these normal levels? I lost 15lbs in 6 weeks, thinning hair, low body temp, muscle aches, dry skin.
