5'6" and 117 is still underweight on the BMI scale. I'd ask my PCP for a referral to endocrinologist. If it's too far to travel for a consult i'd ask him to consider a trial of levothyroxine, a thyroid regulator.
But like I said, he found no evidence there was anything wrong with my thyroid...he specifically ran blood work for it. Could I purse it further? Sure, but there's half a dozen other things that are also not bothering me health wise that could be bad I could investigate too. As long as I don't lose any weight I'm not going to concern myself. I've got enough other stuff to worry about in my life at the moment.5'6" and 117 is still underweight on the BMI scale. I'd ask my PCP for a referral to endocrinologist.
