Do These Symptoms Sound Familiar to You? Posted: 07-01-05 20:33pm
I recently went to the doctor suspecting
that I may be pregnant. I had a test and
it was negative but I still have a long
list of symptoms. Some of these symptoms
have been present since I gave birth to my
son 21 months ago. He also took blood to
check for a hormone imbalance. Apparently
the results came back okay because I never
heard from him. Do any of these symptoms
sound familiar to you? Has anyone had
normal test results but really had a
problem? I am only 34 and I am a wreck!
Thanks for the input.
Bouts of vomiting over the last two years
almost non existent sex drive
cataract in both eyes
no energy, fatigue
mood swings
headaches
sore muscles
pain in wrists , back, and knees
weight gain
acne
hair falling out

It wouldn't be a bad idea to get a cbc
done (complete blood count) to rule out
hypothyroidism. Headaches, sore muscles,
weight gain, hair loss, fatigue, lack of
sex drive, and mood swings are all
symptoms of this. As far as acne and
vomiting, I have no idea.
Also, if you pcp is anything like mine,
you'll have to call and leave dirty
messages before they will finally call
back with lab results. I would definatly
try to find out for sure what they are!
Good luck with this! I went undiagnosed
with an underactive thyroid for about two
years, and I understand how frusterating
and tiring feeling like crap is! I hope
you figure it out!

It is frustrating. I have an appt. On
the 19th. My doctor is actually great
about calling with test results so, unless
it was overlooked, no dirty messages are
in order. Lol when you were finally
diagnosed what did they do for you? Did
it make a big difference in how you felt?
Thanks so much for your input.

I just found out a couple of days ago, and
they perscribed .25 mg of synthoid, which
is a pretty high dosage. I haven't
started taking it yet, but i'm hoping that
it works wonders b/c lately I am feeling
worse every day. I definatly need to
find a new doctor, though, mine is
rediculous!
