[QUOTE="goji, post: 183431, member: 11291"] You say your thryoid has been checked and it is fine, but did you get the actual numbers for your TSH, FT4 and FT3? What doctors think is 'fine' for thyroid can very often be pathological. You can't necessarily rely on doctors to treat your thyroid properly and thyroid is a major cause of tiredness. Aside from tiredness, do you have any other signs/symptoms of Addisons? You could ask to have adrenal cortex antibodies tested as these tend to be there in people with autoimmune addisons. What tests have you already had for addison's? (I have adrenal insufficiency and although tiredness was a major symptom, there were a lot of other symptoms happening at the same time). Also have you been tested for other autoimmune conditions eg. have you had ANA antibodies tested for a start? A lot of rheumatological autoimmune conditions like lupus etc. have fatigue as a major symptom. I'd ask your GP for this basic screening test at least. [/QUOTE]
