Feeling intense fatigue most days.

[Metalhead]

It feels like every time I sit down to watch a movie or play a game on my couch, I end up falling asleep sitting up for a few hours.

I struggle to stay awake at my desk job.

And even though my appetite has decreased, my weight gain is becoming a real issue these days.

The doctor thinks I may have hypothyroidism. I think he might be onto something there. There is an extensive history of that in my family.

I feel depressed, like all I want to do is sleep. Things that used to bring me pleasure now do very little for me. I hope this gets fixed sooner as opposed to later.

Not yet.

I think a simple blood test is used to diagnose thyroid issues. Your GP should just order a test for you.

That test will be done in an hour from now.

The doctor is considering that angle, as well.
