Thanks. I have had TSH, Free T3, Free T4, total T3, and antibodies- which I am not sure?
All were Free T's were borderline low normal, TSH normal, antibodies negative.

The symptoms could also be totally unrelated to the thyroid.

What tests have you had run?

It IS possible, but rare.

It could be that you are having Thyroiditis from a viral source or some other trigger.

But have you been tested for more than one antibody?
