.Thing is with thyroid levels if you are borderline they are loathe to prescribe because it can make you more hyper .They have to get the dosages correct .
They will probably moniter you to see how your levels are over a period of time .It took six months of tests before they decided I had thyroid problems and got me on medication.Hope they can sort you out and that you soon feel better ..
Have a look at the Bupa factsheet

Hmm ..my sister had an overactive thyroid and she was like hell on wheels ..many years ago now ..she's been passed away for over ten years .
But ..she had the bulging eyes etc and could not sit still for five minutes and was as skinny a rake .She used to be really jittery.
My symptoms on the under hand were lethargy and weight gain,dizziness (nothing new...lol ) hair loss,crumbly nails and a general can't be arsed feeling .
It is horrible but bear with them ..it does need to monitered carefully .Take care
