Hi there,
I am struggling with an undiagnosed condition, which is very similar to CFS and a thyroid dysfunction.
I have almost all the symptoms ( unexplained weight gain/ inability to lose weight despite diet/exercise, almost constant fatigue, occasional dizziness after mental effort, puffy face, sensitivity to cold, muscle weakness) which has drained me and left me depressed.
this has been going on for 4 years, it started after a winter viral infection.
I cant afford a private doctor and have been tested for all thyroid tests , which came back normal.
I'm aware that the normal range doesnt mean a lot, and you can still have a hormonal issue if tests are deemed normal.
What can I do??!
Is it actually possible to convince an NHS GP to do more tests? How??
If anyone has/ had similar pbs and has found a great GP/Doctor, i would love to hear it!
I'm 33 , no children.
