Hi NoaHow can you tell if you have hyperthyroidism? I have the cognitive fuzziness and fatigue which made me suspect thyroid at one point. I got my very-unconvinced GP to do a blood test for thyroid activity which came back 'within normal range'.
I also heard that these blood tests are not very reliable... How can I rule it out for sure? I am responding quite well to dex, so you've got me thinking about this again!
