Sometimes, I might not post for periods of time. I'm not feeling well these days. A few weeks ago, my doctor told me that I have hypothyroidism (he saw it in the results of my blood test). In a few weeks, I will do another blood test. If I still have hypothyroidism. I'll have to take medication for life (because the gland will never work by itself). Here are the possible symptoms of hypothyroidism (the symptoms in red are the symptoms that I have) :
Symptoms of Hypothyroidism
Fatigue (I'm always tired)
Weakness
Weight gain or increased difficulty losing weight (Well, I've always been obese)
Coarse, dry hair
Dry, rough pale skin ](One day, my father even told me I was as white as a ghost and that I looked sick.)
Hair loss
Cold intolerance (can't tolerate the cold like those around you)
Muscle cramps and frequent muscle aches
Constipation
Depression
Irritability
Memory loss
Abnormal menstrual cycles (I shed too much blood and I only started to have menstrual cycles in February 2005 even though I'm 21 years old...)
Decreased libido
