Hi, I have fibromyalgia but have always suspected a low thyroid as well. But my tests come out 'normal' or 'borderline' and I've been told nothing is wrong.

I have a feeling my thyroid isn't working well because I always have a low temperature, am very cold intolerant, constantly tired, prone to viruses, an irregular menstrual cycle, and my fingernails never grow among other things. My mom has hypothyroidism.

What tests do I ask for specifically? I feel like the doctors might be missing something.

Thank you

for 10 long years..Was on and off A/D's and it was a sluggish thyroid all along. I take Armour (dessicated thyroid hormone).

Free T3, T4, TSH and antibodies (for Hashimoto's). Some with high antiobodies have Graves also. I deal with Hashi's.

Many many great intelligent people on the site: realthyroidhelp.com

So many docs just don't know HOW to treat the thyroid to OPTIMAL levels.
