So while I am in-between Health insurances, want to try and figure out what I could have. I have already had my Thyroid tested which came up negative.
I am really tired all the time, forgetful, suddenly my teeth and mouth feel as if I have all cavities, I have symptoms of Raynaud's and have gained 10 lbs in a few weeks.
I was under a tremendous amount of stress for the last six months (probably longer) which is now over.
With those kinds of symptoms, if it was a thyroid problem, the TSH would show up abnormal as well.
My guess: she has a virus, compounded by stress, which has caused her to overeat and not even realize she's doing it, with probably some hormonal fluctuations (remember you gain a few pounds right before/during your period so assume a few pounds already just from that and you're down to only 5-6 pounds "extra" which is EASY to gain in a few weeks when you're sick/stressed).
Sinus infection can definitely do ALL of that, which would also explain why her teeth hurt. The reynaud's could be a nervous disorder - triggered by stress.
I would find another Doctor with another facility or hospital association. Don't tell them about the Doctor you seen and have your thyroid checked again. I did this and Doctor #1 told me "nothing is wrong with me". Doctor #2 did the same blood work and it came up that I have hypothyroidism. Doctor #1 is male and Doctor#2 is female. I don't know if that that has anything to do with it, but what I do know is I'm not going back to Doctor #1.

Yeah and then go to doctor #3 who happens to be an allergist, and he'll tell you that you have allergies.
Then try doctor #4 who is a general practitioner, but has a specialty cert in neurological disorders. He'll tell you that you have Reynaud's.
Now, go to doctor #5, who is a chiropractor. He'll tell you your chakras are out of whack and recommend an upper spinal adjustment, followed by 2 years of twice-monthly visits.
Then try a diet and weight loss specialist. She'll tell you that your diet is loaded with chemical #47, and make you drink soylent green for 2 weeks and coffee enemas to cleanse your colon.
Then, return to doctor #1, and ask if he might check for -other- problems, since he's already ruled out the thyroid.
That is what drives me nuts with docs. Always tell you something different. Once my new insurance kicks in, I will meet with another allergist to see if anything else can be done.
I definitely have sinuses that need something done with them, probably am not sleeping well due to snoring and not realizing it. The thing that is strange is my teeth!
All I can tell you is that my symptoms of toxic multi nodular goiter were: weight gain no matter what I didn't eat, sick with either a cold or sore throat for 10days-2 weeks out of every month for over a year, always feeling overheated, and hard-to-control diabetes. The thyroid affects so many other glands. Mine was missed by my first endocrinologist, for about 6 years, in spite of a CT and thyroid biopsy. My second endo picked up on it in 5 min.
She also told me there is a huge overlap of symptoms between underactive and overactive thyroid conditions so you can't go by symptoms alone. And a TSH was used by all my PCPs to rule out thyroid conditions for many years.
The tooth thing can definitely be sinus problems....you could have a low-grade chronic sinus infection....infections can make you tired. Don't know about the weight gain...could you have a bit of depression from long-lingering symptoms? That can happen, too, when you feel rotten for extended periods of time.
Your painful teeth very well might be caused by teeth-grinding at night--or even jaw clenching during the day. Previously I'd gone to the dentist several times for what I thought might be teeth needing a root canal due to pain, and x-rays and exam found nothing wrong and dentist said I was likely grinding my teeth at night...stress can cause you to do that..check out TMJ or TMS...

I think that is exactly what it is.
