Hi, Charlotte.
You know, your symptoms sound a lot like adrenal fatigue and/or the beginnings of CFS. But it could all be manifestation of a sleep problem.
These headaches, do you wake up with them?
Have you been feeling this way just since Oct/Nov?
I have had SAD/fibro for years, that manifests itself also with physical symptoms similar to yours. What I have learned most about this, is that there is a huge improvement if I can get adequate sleep. Yes, doctors will put you on anti-d's in a heartbeat!
See if you can get the dr. to give you some Ambien so you can rest well at night. Take some extra Vit D and see if those two things perk you up. If your problem is seasonal, you will know for sure because in about 4 weeks you will perk up on your own.
Is you skin/hair dry and damaged?
It may well be thyroid, but while your waiting on the dr. appointment, see if you can find a way to sleep all night.
