I have had hypo symptoms for several years that have gotten significantly worse in the last 10 months. I've had my thyroid tested twice before (the last time was about 2 years ago) and my tests are always normal-- not even borderline just normal. Lately I have been really tired, listless, moody, and I am freezing cold. I've been taking my temps and they range from 97.9 down to 94.5. My mom is extremely hypothyroid (she had to have half her thyroid removed when she was in her thirties). I have a Dr.'s appt right before Thanksgiving and I have requested the tests again. In the likely even that the tests are still normal, what do I do? I have to see a certain Dr. 'cause of my health insurance, so those Dr.'s listed on about.com that are supposed to be good for this stuff are out. Suggestions for how to talk the Dr. into giving me some meds to try?
