Agree bomber it didn't work out Sigi.
BTW have I asked you if you ghave ever been tested for thryoid antibodies. Sorry my memory is poor since the accident.. and these symptoms above do sound like hypothryoid to me.
If you have a recent TSH test and fT4 test(ideal between 17-19) called TFT) let me know as well?
Thing is normal range is NOT normal.. Mode is 1.1 for TSh anything over 1.5 is sus, over 2.0 (if you aren't on the chubby side) is definitely worth looking at TPO and Tg antibodies.. over 3.0 is most countries in the world is hypothyroid especailly with antibodies. These do come on in older age.. like over 40'ish , but especially over 60's for men.. so if you havent been tested lately.. especially considering tyrosine picks you up?
