I have 3 kids from 2 pregnancies (twins) and since the last baby (2 yrs old) I’ve been far more exhausted even on the weekends when I sleep 9-11 hours. This past January my primary care doctor noticed my thyroid and had an ultrasound done because after having the flu I made a comment about how I sleep on the couch so I’m partially sitting whenever I’m congested because it’s easier to breath and cough. Turns out I have an enlarged thyroid with nodules. TSH came back at 0.79 and T4free was 0.94. She said it was working find. However during all of that I got chronic laryngitis and lost my voice for over 2 months. I just recently got it back in the middle/end of March. The ENT couldn’t explain it and has me coming back in in 8 weeks. Also, my periods had gotten very irregular and heavier even while I was on Metformin (which I hate). A1c test just came back as normal.

Basically my doctors keep saying PCOS but no one seems concerned with why my thyroid is enlarged. And I keep feeling like all those symptoms happening with all of this and the dry skin in the past 2 years is more than just my PCOS. Do I sound crazy?

My question is what if the thyroid blood testing is within the normal range. Dr is stating PCOS and wants to put me on metformin 4x a day. my tsh is .54 which is on the lower end.But my prolactin is elevated! If you have any suggestions on testing ?
