I have spent the last few days in utter exhaustion. Debilitating exhaustion. I don't know whats going on with me, but my gut instinct is my thyroid.

I just got a copy of my labs from 4/25 when the dr said everything was normal. I just don't feel normal! In the last few months I've been having trouble swollowing, and get chocked a lot.

Anyone know about labs???? This is what mine were on 4/25.

Glucose 96 fasting ref interval 69-99 mg/dl

Thyroid Peroxibase Antibodies <2 <2 iu/ml ??????

t-4,Free 1.2 .8-1.6 ng/dl

TSH 2.21 .4o - 5.50

T3, Free 274 230 - 420 pg/dl

I have no idea what these mean. They are all within "normal" range, but could my numbers have changed drastically since then? I hate feeling stoopid about this stuff. I just feel soooo weak, and having heart palputations and chest pains. My sis said she had that too, until she got her synthroid straightened out.

Any advice will be taken seriously!!!! I've already called my endocrinologist, whom I was not totally impressed with. I've also got the name of another endocrinologist on the other side of nashville, but if he's good, I don't mind driving. I'm checking insurance info now, and hopefully before the end of the day I'll have an appointment SOMEWHERE!!!

Could this just be hormones??? Fibro??? Usually when I have a fibro attack, I feel like I have the flu, with a temperature and muscle aches, along with the total exhaustion. No temp, and no muscle aches. My blood pressure is fine, if not a little lower than usual.

Any ideas???? I'm desperate!!
