giving up

I have had health problems for over 2 years now and still no answers.  My symptoms are weight loss,  I am staying at a weight of 105 now but I eat all the time and never gain.  Leg aches,  hair loss,  anxiety,  racing heart and tireness.  I have seen so many doctors I have lost count.  They all say it sounds like your thyroid.  It has been tested time and time again and they always say it is normal.  One of my last were,  TSH 0.760,  T4 0.97  CORTISOL 10.5  FREET3  2.9. It feels like there is something stuck in the middle of my throat sorta to the right.  I don't know where to go from here Thankyou for your help

The thyroid levels appear normal and cortisol adequate.
Would consider an ENT eval if you feel something "stuck in your throat" - there are many structures in the throat, thyroid is only one of many possibilities.  A thyroid ultrasound is reasonable.
Anxiety can cause all these symptoms, but I am sure this has been considered.

I am very new to this forum but you might want to have an ultra sound of your thyroid to ensure you don't have any growths (nodules or cysts etc.) Like I said I am not too knowledgable in this area but I would think that may be the next step for you... best of luck.
