Have you had the test for the antibodies?
My gp refused to believe I had any thyroid problems because my TSH was within the normal range. It was so frustrating for me because I had all of the symptoms of hypothyroidism and I knew I had that problem. Fortunately I insisted on seeing an endocrinologist (with the support of my psychiatrist). The endocrinologist felt my thyroid and knew instantly that I had Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Blood tests confirmed this. I was then put on thyroxin. (Unfortunately I never got the chance to say I told you so to my gp.)K
