Great idea to have that checked.
I've been hypothyroid for 20 years officially, many more before being diagnosed.
About three years ago I was diagnosed with Adrenal Insufficiency, or Addison's Disease. To my knowledge there is not a test for adrenal fatigue, but clearly is related, or perhaps a precursor. Dizziness was a prominent trait I noticed before being diagnosed, along with extreme fatigue. Also watch for electrolyte imbalance: low sodium and high potassium. Both diseases are, or can be, autoimmune. To get more information search National Adrenal Diseases Foundation,
http://www.nadf.us/index.htm. Also Mayo clinic is a good resource.
Just a possibility, I hope this is helpful and wish all of you the best.
