which thyroid tests do i ask for?

[muse]

I've had all the standard thyroid tests done before and they were fine but i'm convinced there's an imbalance that is not showing up. weight loss and gain, dramatic hair loss & changes, etc...dr put it all down to stress before but i'm so not stressed the past 6 months or so.

going back to the dr today.
what are the tests beyond the regular ones i should be asking for?

I would ask for full thyroid panel and thyroid antibodies test.
