Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Hi all - I'm (female variety), 42, living in Essex, although originally from Shropshire. I am possibly hypothyroid, awaiting results at the moment. My initial bloods said I was "normal" but as I'm displaying all the symptoms of hypothyroid my GP has sent off for another T3 test (not really sure what it all means). I've done a little internet surfing and it seems a minefield, thus my reason for joining this group. I was blissfully unaware of all the problems relating to diagnosis etc. My GP is sympathetic, but I have a feeling that if this new test shows nothing, that will be the end of it. Is it worth pursuing further if that's the case, or should I rule out other possibilities first. I should mention there is a strong history of hypothyroidism in my family. My symptoms are, I'm told, textbook :- exhaustion, tiredness, sleep problems difficulty concentrating or remembering weight gain dryskin and nails depression /anxiety constipation poor libido breathlessness and swelling of feet hoarseness cold intolerance puffy eyes Look forward to hearing your stories Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
