Doctors don't know what I have

I've had recent tests done regarding my Thyroid and they came out totally over the limit. My T3, T4 and also my TSH levels are at least 3 or four times over the highest permited limit but doctors aren't able to pin point what I have due to the fact that I might have Hyperthyroidism but to have that I should have high t3 annd t4 levels and low tsh levels, which is no the case (All three items are over the roof). I'm constantly sleepy, suffer from hot flashes and my hair started falling. I have dry skin and instead of loosing weigt I started putting on weight. I'm so tired I can't get myself to the gym anymore (I used to go 5 times a weeks) and suffer from constant headaches. Can someone shed some light on what I might have?

Seriously?  They don't think you have a problem with your thyroid?  Or is it that they do, but aren't quite sure just what that is as of yet?  

Something obviously isn't right for that kind of test results.  It would be helpful for those more knowledgeable about all of this if you were able to post you tests with results and ranges involved.

Hoping it gets figured out for you.

You definitely have signs of being hypo and you may need to be on med's...if your levels are way off, that is more than likely what is goin on. You need to seek advice from a Endocrinogist because they specialize in thyroid disease and issues.
