Have you had thyroid blood work once or more than once? If it was checked once and it is normal, have it re-checked in about 4-6 weeks to see if it is becoming abnormal or not. There are other etiologies for your symptoms, including vitamin deficiencies so other blood work may be needed. See your doctor for further evaluation. Good luck to you!

Further diagnostic work up will be needed and other possible sources for your symptoms should be considered if thyroid is believed not to be involved. Your family doc remains best to further coordinate.
