Your doctor should be concerned about this. If you test positive for antibodies, you could feel better with thryoid hormone drugs.
Also, you should get a thyroid ultrasound. You don't have to have thyroid disease in the family to get thyroid disease. Teens do sometimes get it. A member on this forum has a child who is eight who has thryoid disease.
