HELP- what is this?

Apologies if this isn't the right place but just desperately looking for some answers. I had my first child nearly 10 months ago, and 2 minths after he was born I'd lost virtually all the weight I'd gained during pregnancy with essentially no effort. Usually petite size 10.
But then I noticed my clothes don't fit anymore, so jumped on the scales a couple of months ago and it turns out I'd gained nearly 2 stone in just 7 months. I am quite active (more so than after the birth), nothing changed with diet. I also have intensely dry itching skin, styes on my eyes every couple of weeks, thinning hair, dry mouth, chronic constipation, intense tiredness and lethargy and flare up of De Quervain's Tenosynovitis. All symptoms that I understand point to postpartum hypothyroidism.
By the time I see my GP I'll have been waiting 11 weeks- I'm now at my wits end as the blood test results I had pre-appointment have come back fine. TSH rating of 2 point something- which I'm told is bang in the middle.

Do anyone have any ideas what this could be? I'm so fed up and uncomfortable, I'm piling on the weight and I just don't know what to do. I'm at my wits end now.
