I say it doesn't hurt to get tested...at least you will know what the case is. I've also heard that Diabetics are more prone to thyroid issues too , as it's an autoimmune issue as well(I believe ).

In the past, I've wondered this about myself,, but every test I've had has come back negative. However, some of those symptoms really do apply to me, so I often wonder about if there's something else really going on. I guess it doesn't necessarily mean that it's thyroid, I'm sure a lot of those symptoms could be associated with other things too.

As far as the weight issue...I notice my own weight fluctuates A LOT. One week I can put on what seems to be several pounds and the next I drop it...and it seems to be an ongoing thing . I assume it has to do with hydration and the effects of having your blood sugar swing from hi to low(and back again) like ours tend to do.I don't know if anyone else experiences that, but it can be aggravating .

Good luck with your testing and let us know what you find out

Put to rest
What you thought of me
Well I cleaned this slate
With the hands
Of uncertainty

So let mercy come
And wash away
What I’ve done
