I have all those signs and symptoms hence being up at this unearthly hour.
IMO I feel that you would be best if went back to your GP and asked for the full range of thyroid function tests to be repeated.
If necessary you may have to have the blood tests done privately.
I understand that t is best to have the blood tests done when your symptoms are at their worse. The tsh can vary throughout the day. Barbara may have more info on this.
Take care

I think that you are entitled to a second opinion at specialist level.

Mind my asking if your signs and symptoms improved?
Also do you have any cardiac issues at all?

My endo cannot get a definitive reply tto the safety or otherwise of prescribing any thyroid meds!!
I also have nodules which are non cancerous. I am at the end of my tether with all this uncertainty plus the signs and symptoms. My tsh is 0.16, TPOAS 30, T4 17.
I take Vit D3 and calcium for low vit D.
I am thinking of buying Regular L-Carnitine myself and going it aalone and relying on private blood testing.
