are these test results normal? i’ve been having symptoms where i have been dealing with ongoing fatigue and low energy for a long time now, to the point where I need multiple naps during the day even after getting enough sleep, i crave sweet stuff, i sometimes feel dizzy, i tend to get nauseous, i have low motivation, trouble concentrating, eat but nothing satisfies my appetite i’ve tried b12 and d3 supplements but nothing helps. i get tired after an hour of waking up.

TSH 2.41
T3 UPTAKE 22%
T4 TOTAL 9.4 mcg/dL
FREE T4 INDEX 2.1 mIU/L

hiiii has anyone ever tried the supplement myo inositol and d chiro inositol for endometriosis and ovarian cyst? i’m not on birth control anymore to help my endo symptoms and was thinking about trying something new and natural to see if it helps prevent cyst and maybe even help the pain naturally.

if so how was your experience?

hello i’m a 21 year old female who’ve been dealing with these symptoms since 2024. i was wondering do these come from endometriosis? i’ve had endometriosis since around the age of 16 years old. these symptoms effect my everyday life. all of my lab work for some reason comes back as normal from my doctor.

- extreme tiredness every single day no matter how much sleep i get and i constantly rely on naps to get through the day and feel tired 1-2 hours after waking up or waking up from naps

- trouble falling asleep and staying asleep ( only thing that somewhat helps is melatonin )

- nausea

- dizziness

- extreme hunger where nothing satisfy appetite

- headaches

- peeing a lot all day all night

- bloating

- tired after i eat

- sugar cravings

- immediately tired after eating

- irregular periods that come every other month and some months tend to have back to back periods

- supplements like vitamin b12/d3 don’t help

- trouble concentrating

- hair shedding

- consistent ovarian cyst

- leg numbness to where i can’t walk and have to limp

- brain fog / bad memory

- depression

- anxiety

- high stress levels

- feeling sluggish or sick

- hard to get motivation

- hard to get out of bed

i got my thyroid tested due to symptoms i have and my lab work came back as this:

T3 UPTAKE: 22% | REFERENCE RANGE: 22-35% ( basically the bare minimum )

T4 (THYROXINE), TOTAL: 9.7 | REFERENCE RANGE: 5.1-11.9

FREE T4 INDEX (T7): 2.1 | REFERENCE RANGE: 1.4-3.8

TSH: 2.41

could i has hypothyroidism?

i got tested due to daily symptoms i have and i will list my symptoms to read if you would like. TLDR if you don’t want to read.

hello everyone. i’m a 21 y/o female who’s been dealing with issues with fatigue and low energy since around the end of 2023 early 2024 no matter how much sleep i get the night before. i constantly rely on 2-3 naps a day ranging from 1-2 hours long or sometimes 1 long 3-4 hour nap. i have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep throughout the night unless i take melatonin. i deal with cold feet’s, lack of motivation because of my energy levels, always being hungry but nothing satisfy my appetite, always are bloated, puffy face, sometimes are always cold but other times always hot, having bad memory and/or forgetting things, irregular periods where i may have 2 in one month but the next 1-2 months they’re absent. i also struggle with feeling dizzy and nauseous all the time. i also crave sugar all the time, get tired after i eat big meals and have polyuria and sometimes have an unquenchable thirst. i also tend to be out of breath from just having normal conversations or just simple daily task.

i do struggle with major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. i also have endometriosis and fibroids but im not sure why i keep having these other symptoms. i was on lexapro for my depression and anxiety and my doctor said it should help my energy but it didn’t and i only took it for a month. i’ve tried vitamin d supplements, vitamin b12 and took them consistently every single morning for months and never saw a difference with my energy levels. i was taking 2000IU of vitamin d. i also get 8-9 hours of sleep a night and no help. i do not have low iron my hemoglobin on my blood work was a 13.2. i was suspecting i could have a thyroid issue and saw that eve with a normal TSH level you could still have hypothyroidism. my doctor for some reason wont test my T3 levels because my TSH is in normal range which was a 2.30. i’m also suspecting i could have a vitamin d or vitamin b12 deficiency but im not sure how to get a vitamin test i’m suspecting PCOS could be a cause but now im suspecting low iron with or without anemia. my hemoglobin was a 13.2 on my last lab test.

could this be low iron?

my doctors suspect i either have pcos, hypothyroidism or a metabolic disorder and these are the labs he ordered. are these appropriate for a pcos diagnosis?

how could i advocate for more testing, what could this possibly be and has anyone else had a similar experience or symptoms?
