Answer 1

Did you see an endocrinologist? Did you get a TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) test? If this is the result of that test, then you should be on synthetic thyroid like synthroid or levoxyl. See another doctor. Get another test.

Hypothyroidism effects every organ in your body. Losing your hair, fatigue, dry skin, depression, anxiety can all be attributed to this condition. Check it out at mayoclinic.com.

Answer 2

When you have a TSH is should be done in the morning only. I'd get retested again and ask for these additional tests......Free T4, Free T3, and an antibody test.
