I would ask for a free T3 and a free t4. My primary told me I was normal for 3 yrs but I felt awful so I went to an immunologist who ran the full thyroid panel and although my tsh was "normal" I had next to nothing in free T3. You can also ask them for thyroid antibodies blood test. You may have to find a new doctor though.

Maybe a thyroid issue. Those r very common with endo patients.

Hi! I would have your thyroid horomones checked as I ignored it for a very long time and kept putting on weight, putting on more weight no matter how little I ate and worked out. I gained 60 lbs in a year and I have been on thyroid horomones now for two years and have finally been losing weight after almost two years. If your weight gain is not from eating horribly or lack of working out, you may wanna get checked. Trust me, don't ignore it like I did. By the time I finally got mine checked, my dr said she didn't know how I was even functioning. Trust me, you don't wanna feel as bad as I did when I finally decided to get checked. Hope this helps and you get everything figured out.

That is very interesting with thyroid..My primary said my thyroid is enlarged. I had blood tests and they came back normal..but I have had excessive weight gain! I literally gained 10 lbs in a month! So frustrating!!
