Guest guest Posted December 15, 1999 Report Share Posted December 15, 1999 Hi Everyone.. First let me introduce myself.. My name is and I am 28 yrs old w/ 4 beautiful kids. I was diagnosed about 6 yrs ago w/ TD.. and even though for the last year and a half my synthroid must b working (my blood worl has come back within the norm range) I continue to feel all the symptoms.. I am extremely tired and sluggish every day.. i forget the easiest thing.. get confused.. (brain fog) I live in NY so now that it's getting cold outside i'm frezzing all the time.. My menstrals have continued to be about 9 days long w/ horrendous cramps and bleeding.. so bad the first few days that i hate to leave the house because everytime i move.. i just flow so heavily..( i'm so sorry i am being so graphic.. i just don't know how else to say it However the Drs never did anything.. Well in the last 4-5 months other things have added to it.. like even more tired.. to the point i just drift off.. i have to have a nap.. i have almost no control over it.. i get hot flashes... at least once every couple days if not every day.. depression..i get the most god-awful headaches.. a week b4 my cycle my breasts r so tender i cant even touch them.. i itch all over.. my sex drive is nil.. i feel bloated all the time.. i went back to the Dr. explained all this.. I saw a Phy. Assistant this time.. she was very understanding.. they did a finger prick test and found out i am anemic.. then she sent me to the lab to have 9 different blood tests preformed.. seems she thinks i might have something called a polycystic overy??? anyone know anything about that?? can cause your insulin levels to go up or down.. a whole bunch of things..she also had my female hormones checked she said i had signs of early menopause... she put me on birth control pills.. anyway on Fri I get all my tests back and i will post the results.. I am sorry I seem to have told u my whole life history.. I am just so happy I stumbled onto this group... to see that others r feeling exactly .. know exactly.. I hope I can chat w/ all of u soon...Thanx.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
