Complete blood counts may not reveal Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Thyroid profile test containing TSH, free T3, T4 levels should be done. Thyroid auto antibodies should also be tested. Blood sugar and blood hemoglobin should also be tested. Vitamin B12 and D levels can also be tested since nutritional deficiency can cause generalised fatigue.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
