Hi, need some advice, ive been poorly for last 6 months.  Feeling sooo fatigued, nausea, tinnitus, weight gain, pins and needlesin right arm and  hand daily, sometimes both feet. Muscle pain and weakness, tearful, breathlessness, tight chest. Intermittent sore throat and glands go up and down.

I am only 39 in just 6 months my life has come to a grinding hault, no socialising, no gym just early nights i have terrible night sweats, yet cold hand and feet. wake feeling exhausted.  I am a mum of two little ones who need me, and i have barely enough energy to scrape through each day.

i have had blood tests and was low vitamin d and low ferratin iron but not below minimum levels. im sure its thyroid but dr says test shows normal. Is this area worth pursuing.  I am not menopausal and i do not feel this is anxiety.  Just dont know where to go next.

Thanks for your thoughts and time

    Hey have you ever been bitten by a Tick? Might be unerlying condiiton like Lyme Disease. Very difficult to find in the blood. Sometimes positive and negative. Ask doctor to do testing with MDL lab. Sore Throat and Glands, might be Bartonella, a co infection of Lyme. I'm not a Doctor, but I have had same symptoms thats how I found this post! I had chronic Lyme and Bartonella. Sore Throat, and Glands give it away. Hope you feel better!

    You can have Hashimotos Thyroidism and still have a normal TSH. Have your dr. Give you a TPO antigen test as you may have the autoimmune disease mentioned above.
