I've also considered Hashimoto's, but every time I have a TSH on my blood panels, it comes back normal. I'm not sure my doctors would want to order more tests since that one always looks good (and it's a bit of a pain trying to push for more tests when doctors don't think it's necessary - I'm already a little burnt out from advocating for the blood tests I've had so far).

Hashimoto’s is not your Thyroid, it’s an autoimmune disease. Have your TPO Antibodies tested and T3-Free and T4-Free. Your TSH numbers can be normal, but an antibody shows up in testing TPO Antibodies. The TPO Antibodies should be 0, mine were 600! I’m sure yours are high too, which is why you have body inflammation. Pretty easy to fix if you really want to.

Have you had reverse T3 and. T4?
Hashimotos is positive thyroid peroxidase labs not TSH..
