Hi Nicola great news about your hba1c results.

Depression can leave you feeling lethargic but try to do a little exercise daily as exercise releases happy endorphins.

I wonder if you could be suffering from myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) more commonly know as chronic fatigue syndrome ?

Yep it sucks! I'm waiting for my operation, which should be in 2-3 months!

ME is sort of the last resort and believe me, there are A LOT of thyroid sufferers diagnosed with both ME and fibromyalgia.

Don't worry. Get the results and post them here.

Great HbA1c, shame about the other bits. Obviously I'm not an expert but looking at your blood pressure I would be tempted to look at that as a possible cause of light headiness. My poor old dad (now 87) suffers from light headiness, especially when he stands up. Three doctors gave him three different diagnosis, Inner ear infection, vertigo and something else that I've forgotten. It was his DN who decided to measure BP standing and sitting and discovered how his blood pressure dropped when he stood up. In his case it was actually a known side effect of Amlodopine which he took for . . . . . . . wait for it . . . . . . . High blood pressure. I don't think you're on any BP meds, you look way too young and I mean that in a nice way, it's usually us oldies that get high BP.
As for tiredness, I guess that's what the blood tests were for, checking white/red cell count maybe?
Still, pleased about your HbA1c, that's good news, I think the only suggestion I would make is that slowly but surely you will chip away at the things that aren't quite right and you will get back to a state where you weren't light headed or tired.
Just a thought, have you considered consulting a Nutritional Therapist, a good one, somebody who studied for three years or more to get a degree in Nutritional medicine and is a member of BANT.
