How to figure out Thyroid issues

[knightpilled]

I have a lot of reason to believe that I have thyroid issues, im always either hot or cold (ive tried exposure to both, no improvement), often very tired and without motivation despite sleeping enough and living an active lifestyle, I have a shit metabolism and weight fluctuations, compulsive need to swallow even when nothing is in my mouth, most importantly my mother had really bad hashimotos even before I was born and she struggled with it a lot throughout her entire life.
My problem is that its practically impossible to get tested here currently without having to wait for an appointment for half a year. Is there some improvements I can make currently or some medication I can test for thyroid issues to see if it works on me and makes me feel better? Id think that would basically confirm I have a thyroid issue.

read up on b vitamins. it could help you a lot. also if they actually help you then you'll know your problem. still do the blood test when you can

i used to be high risk for the same thing since my mother grandmother and sister all have hashimoto. my bloodwork was so bad at one point that i had to take meds for it but came out of it. Its still mostly diet and you can help yourself a lot quite easily usually

order a online blood test specifically testing for hypo/hyper thyroidsm that you send in would take 2 weeks dont take any medication till you know as hypo / hyper are polar opposites and have similar symptoms

My vitamins are fine I believe, had a blood test for vitamins a while ago and they didnt find anything out of the ordinary and my symptoms have started long before that so it has no correlation, still thank you
