I have had rheumatoid arthritis for nearly 15 years. For the past couple of years I have had almost every symptom on the list for hypothyroidism. My rheumatologist has done bloodwork (complete thyroid panel) but it is always "normal". He is not concerned and attributes my symptoms to my rheumatoid arthritis. I want to have further tests. has anyone had a similar experience? I have read that blood tests are not always accurate for detecting thyroid conditions.

You do not have hypothyroidism. It's a pretty clear test without the need for much interpretation and if it's been done more than once the chance that all the tests were wrong isn't likely.
