Do I have a thyroid condition?
I recently went to the DR for something unrelated to thyroid but the DR noticed my neck was puffy. She sent me for blood tests which came back as 1.37 which they said is normal. I have many symptoms which suggest hypothyroidism. I have constant headaches, tingling in my hands, foggy brain, am moody, have no energy and struggle to loose weight. I have a scan booked to check my thyroid glands but if this comes back as normal what else could it be?

Please post new results, when you get them and we can help you work through the issues.
Yip the 1.37 was the TSH. Will get them to test the others and hopefully will get some answers. Thanks

What was the 1.37 for? Was that TSH? If that's all your doctor ordered, you aren't going to get very far. You need to be tested for the actual thyroid hormones, Free T3 and Free T4. If your levels aren't adequate, you will have symptoms.
Do get Vitamin B12 tested, as well, since deficiency could cause the tingling in your hands.
