Umax,
Welcome to Healing Well. Your symptoms do sound similar to mine & I have hypothyroidism, but typically a 3.27 wouldn't qualify. Still, TSH levels do fluctuate at different times of the month. It may at least be worth re-testing the TSH to double-check.

Beyond that, I'm sure there must be other things that can cause your symptoms. Have you had your iron checked? I'm also anemic, so I'm not sure how many of those sx's may be from iron deficiency (I think feeling sensitive to cold & the hair/skin problems can be related to anemia).

Have you seen a dermatologist? Maybe also worthwhile to see a neurologist since a few of your symptoms could be neurological. Hope you feel better soon!

PS- I know some of our members also have Lyme. If you live or have traveled in an area that is wooded, perhaps you should consider getting tested for Lyme disease. We have a Lyme Forum, so perhaps you could search there to see how much your symptoms may overlap with Lyme.

I had 1/2 my thyroid removed because of a large nodule. the doc was afraid it was cancerous even tho my FNB was inconclusive. It turned out to be benign. I also have a cyst on the other side which is stable for now.

I did fine from surgery but now 7 months later I have all these odd symptoms. So my blood work showed TSH 4.9 and Free T4 is 1.

I am supposedly in range but the diagnosis was low/normal. And since I have gained weight, feel tired, listless, lethargic, moody, chills, and a flu like feeling, feet hurt, joint pain just to name a few new problems,  my doc said undoubtedly I am hypo even tho some docs would say wait and see. but since I am living on 1/2 of a thyroid gland with a csyt to boot, he did not think i was crazy!!

I am 59 and too old for a wait and see attitude.     I  needed help and he gladly  put me on Synthroid 75. I felt better by the 5th day and now it is the 11 th day and I still feel ok. I am hoping to feel quite well by 3 months when I go back. He said that "you wouldn't believe the variety of symptoms people with thyroid problems have." So you might seem ok on paper but you are an individual. All you can do is go by your symptoms.

I had symptoms also before my tumor was taken out. Many symptoms, including some of the ones that developed after surgery.
