Feel like Hypothryroidism but test say No!

I'm a young adult male, still in school.  I've been suffering from constant nausea since 3 years ago, but it recently has subsided for the last year and only comes once in a while.

Also I have new symptoms that are similar to hypothyroidism.  Such has always tired, hands are always cold, dryer skin than usually,joint pain(mostly knee and hip joint), and get heavily irritated and brain fog issues from time to time.  When it sets, my memory is so bad, and I get irritated from notthing.  I can be laying in my room by myself and feel so irritated in the head that I will have to try to relax myself and go to sleep.  I literally can not think or plan ahead.

I've done many test including ultrasound of all my organs, CT Scan, MRI, blood work, urine test, breath test and others.  The only think that was found was little cyst in my thyroid which has been said to me by more than one doctor that they are too small to worry about and can probably be ignored.

When it comes to my TSH results it shows a 0.9 which is a bit on the low normal range which completely contradicts hypothyroidism expected results.

I've also been on anti-depression drugs(prozac) for like a bit more than 2 weeks when then I stopped because it literally had no affect on me.

I still feel crappy but slightly better than usually recently.  I'm so sick of feeling like this and being unable to think like I used to, my mind is unclear and always feeling tired.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

This is an old thread, and the participants have not been on the forum for a long time.  It would be best if you started your own new thread by going to the top of the page and hitting the "Post a Question" button.

Please provide some history...latest thyroid labs with reference ranges (ranges vary lab to lab), meds history, cause of your hypo (if you know it).

Thanks.

I have been suffering terrible nausea and exhaustion. there's something not right, I can't even face ice hockey training and I hate missing that!  Increased travel sickness has afflicted me in past incidences when my levels are low, never like this though.  Has your doc suggested anything to combat the nausea or is it a case of see how it goes?

Thanks for your reply.  Nausea was my main issue too for a long time.  Now it seems to have shifted.  When I had it, it was like 24/7 for periods of 4-6 months, then it may go away for like 2-3 months and it might come back.

Thanks for your suggestion, appreciate it.

Hi. Sorry your feeling so bad. I wanted to respond to your post, because nausea was the main symptoms I had and have recently been diagnosed with hashimoto's. I have been through all the tests that you have listed and the only thing that has been found is the hashimoto's. I have been taking medication for this for a little over a month and during this time I have only had the nausea once. I would have cycles of nausea that would go away for a month and half without any waves of nausea and then it would come on strong again for about two weeks straight. It wasn't 24/7, but it would occur for a few hours each day. Then it would disappear until the next cycle. This went on for over a year. I see that you did have your TSH checked, but did you have thyroid antibody blood tests done? These blood tests check for antibodies that are actually attacking your thyroid. I would have these checked. I also have a "normal" TSH, but elevated TPO (antibody test) with a goiter and nodules. This is how I was diagnosed with hashimoto's. Good luck!
