Every female on my mother's side had/has under active thyroid and I get mine checked every year. TSH level this yr is 2.98 'all perfectly normal' says GP
However I have symptoms..hoarse voice, constipation, joint stiffness, lack of co-ordination pins and needles, feeling like something is stuck in my throat, v. v. tired, zero libido etc etc. I can't shift my excess weight no matter what i do and I feel crap
Cannot afford to go private at all but how can i persuade my GP to prescribe when their guidelines say they don't have to ?
