Thanks, fireweed. I think I did only get a TSH test, but at the moment, I can't do anything as far as medical care unless my life is in danger due to lack of insurance and me not having a job. But I did personally suspect hypothyroidism in the past because I have almost all the symptoms (except the hair and bowel problems associated with hypo). The shortness of breath, inability to lose weight/gaining weight easily, cold intolerance, irritability, pale skin, weakness...just about all of them.
But whenever I happen to have insurance again, I will ask for a fill thyroid panel. Thyroid problems aren't a rampant family problem, but my mom's sister and a couple of her aunts are hyperthyroid, so maybe it does run a bit in the family.
