I'm sick. Could this be a thyroid condition?

These are my symptoms

• Joint/muscle aches
• Always tired, even after just waking up
• Aches every morning
• Sluggish feeling, lack of motivation
• Difficulty concentrating and remembering things
• Swollen hands and feet
• weight gain without change of dietery habits
• craving sweets and carbs more than usual
• getting sick more often/ recurrent sinus infection
• takes longer to get better after being sick
• swollen stomach, even without eating
• dry brittle hair; falls out easy
• Difficult/impossible to lose weight
• Mood changes: depression, anxiety
• Sensitive to weather; always cold
• Inconsistent digestion; diarrhea & constipation
• full or sensitive feeling in the neck
• irritable
• Dry Skin
• eyes give me headaches
• vertical ridges on nails

My blood tests for thyroid came back as TSH= 2.22 and T4= 0.9
My doctor said that that was normal.
What’s wrong with me?

Additional Details
I’m 20 years old.
I gained about 40 lbs in the last year.
I was 175, now I’m about 215.
Over the summer I went on a b12 diet and went from 205 until I plateau’d at 190.
I’m a college student in FL.
My sink water often has a high concentration of chlorine, and my allergies have been acting up more since early october.
For years I’ve been having this tired feeling but over the past few months its been getting worse. Every afternoon I crash and cannot stay awake; sometimes, my 5-minute drive home from school seems almost impossible. The vertical ridges in my nails have been present for years, but the hair issues have been gradually developing over the past 6-8months. THe depression has kicked in a lot over the past month, probably due to the weight gain. I’ve had cold hands and feet as long as I can remember, but recently I’ve been getting really cold, especially when I sleep, and often have to use extra covers.

Natural supplements? Weight loss and better health?

I had a baby 5 months ago and need to lose about 15 pounds. I eat pretty healthy (not a calorie counter – don’t have time!) I go to the gym 4-5 days per week. I haven’t really seen any improvements in my weight or energy level. I would like to know if there are any supplements I can take to better my health and help with weight lose. Im not interested in taking "miracle diet pills" they don’t work! I’ve heard of Omega3 and CLA – any input?

What type of thyroid condition is this, and is it serious?

My mom has thyroid problems and shes 99.99% sure i do too. I would believe the one she thinks i have is Hypothyroidism, but were not sure at all. I’m going to go get a blood test for it soon. I am 14 and was diagnosed with depression; so obviously i feel depressed, I have hairloss, my weight has stayed consistent with me for about three or four years but ive only grown about four inches, I have a really fast metabolism.. I heard feeling worthless is a symptom as well, i have that. Im constantly dozing off. I have fatigue and frequent headaches. I can’t seem to remember things. I have low body temperature regularly while everyone else is hot and they touch me and are always like "Whoa youre so cold!" My body always aches.. and I am nervous a lot of the time.
*Other medical information that might be helpful, I have iron deficiency anemia (Which my mom also has) and scoliosis.My mood changes incredibly easily and my PMS is horrible, I also have abnormal menstrual cycles (9 days at a time normally) and really heavy. Also either spread really far apart or frequently.
Thank you!
im also hungry a lot and sweat a little bit more than normal. i have difficulty concentrating and am nauseaus a lot, and kind of restless.

I am terrified of losing my hair.It took years for it to reach this length.I already have naturally fine hair and I can’t afford to lose any.I have cried thinking about a possible thyroid condition taking this from me.I am almost to break back down in tears just thinking about it.What should I do?Is there a great chance that I will get it?
