[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1429754, member: 88961"] I have temperature regulation issue, but mine happen all over (although radiate from my shoulders), and are time of the day linked. Have you lost any weight in the recent past, whether or not you're now skinny or carrying a few spare pounds. Are the feelings of cold uniform over your body, or do your feelings of cold differ at different times of the day? I have now seen 2 endocrinologists, and have a raft of additional tests to have done. All results considered "in range". Just like my blood numbers, I don't ever accept a response of fine, or bordereline, I want to see the numbers. Has your doc shared what his feeling were, or what he was testing for, to rule in/out? If his first thought was thyroid, did he do the full thyroid panel or just the TSH or FT4 levels? Those might help if things were waaaaaaay off, bat are no means in any way conclusive. Inflammation is another fragment of the fuller picture, but for thyroids you really need tests covering anti-bodies and cortisol. Any thyroid related tests would ideally be done fasting, as levels drop during the day, and that happening on a personalised profile. My second endo was much more thorough, in my view, and has asked for a raft of tests to be done. Only once they are done can any further steps be considered, but it could (due to family history of auto-immune conditions) be a hand off to a rhuematologist, or a gastroenterologist. Irrespective of test results, I have been instructed to go gluten free, as those with AI issues tend to do better without gluten in their systems. Deep joy. I have embarked on research for this particular approach, but haven't changed my diet, until the fasting bloods are drawn. I won't bore you with why those haven't been drawn yet, as it's a bit tiresome. Please do get your actual test results. The Thyroid UK site has an active community on it, with people with far more knowledge than me. [URL]https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk[/URL] They're very good at interpreting test numbers (a bit like on here, for diabetes), but you'd need the numbers, plus a note of whatever range your local lab considers in range. I hope you find a way forward soon. [/QUOTE]
