Could Symptoms be from something else?
| Fri, 10-29-2004 - 2:14am |
Hello. I'm 30 years old and have had the following symptoms for quite some time:
Tiredness , weight gain and inability to lose it, hair loss, unable to tolerate cold, problems with regular period (just in the last year and could be due to birth control change). I recently had a blood test for thyroid which came back negative. I had the same test done about 3 years ago and even went to an endocrynologist (sp?) then and it was negative also. I like my OBGYN, but she didn't seem too concerned (i guess since it isn't a OB/GYN problem). My Mom has hypothyroid and my grandma did also. I tend to take after my mom physically, so I keep thinking that must be what it is. But since the tests keep coming back negative, does anyone know what else these symptoms could be caused by??
Thank you.

You need to find out exactly what your TSH was.

P.S.
Love your screen name!!
Your ob/gyn could dignosis your possible hypothyroidism. But an endo is better. So your first step is to call and get those results and then come back here and let us know what they are. OK? Cathy :)
