I usually hang out in the fibro forum however still not diagnosed so I have a few questions here.

My doctor did do a thyroid blood test, levels came out normal........however at my last doctors appointment my thyroid felt funny so I will have a scan done on it.

A little history:

This fall I lost 15 pounds for no reason now I am steady in my weight.

I got real sick in December no energy, loose bowels and body aches all over.  No fever though which I found odd this went on for 3 months.

Now:  I still get tired easy, odd body aches and now add muscle twitching, I feel like a freak.

I do have anxiety, it runs in the family and thought for 38 years I avoided it, now I'm on meds for that.   I have been dealing with this for 6 months and the stress is too much.

Even though I have a good blood pressure my pusle runs too high so I am also on a beta blocker for that.

I asked about the pain, twitching, odd skin sensations and she told me I have neuroapthy in my arms/hands.

I even straight up and asked could it be MS or Lymes she told me no.

Could I have normal levels and my thyroid still be out of wack??

Do any of you suffer from the symtpoms I posted?

I had three tests done and all were normal, but I kept feeling rough. I changed doctors and he did the full panel of tests involving three blood draws in one day. He found it!
I have hypothyroidism.

Yours sounds a lot like hyperthyroidism.

I'm still suffering from one symptom of my troubles... leg edema. I take two lasix a day for it but it's not enough some days.

No, only the two I mentioned, also was low in vit d back in April so was on meds for that. They did a full blood work up including CRP levels.

I know this sounds crazy but I made a copy of the lab orders so I could track what they tested for.

Trust me this has been going on for quite some time.

So I am wondering if I have a something going on, she tells me I'm a worry wart but I know I am not the same person I was last summer, lol.

You could of had one of them wrong.
My old doctor ran only the screener and it was always normal. I went to a new doctor he ran all four tests and found my hypothyroidism.
