- You may feel nervous, moody, weak, or tired.
- Your hands may shake, your heart may beat fast, or you may have problems breathing.
- You may be sweaty or have warm, red, itchy skin.
- You may have more bowel movements than usual.
- You may have fine, soft hair that is falling out.
- You may lose weight even though you eat the same or more than usual.
So, I am moddy, weak and tired pretty much all the time! I have just noticed shakiness of my hands, and every time I check my pulse over the last few months its between 110-116. I am very hot all the time, and TMI TMI TMI I am having more bowel movements then I have EVER had, ahah. I feel like I'm shedding, and my hair seems more brittle then before. Another sign of any thyroid issues is a lighter, or even missed period so I don't know! I hope no one is thinking that I am over thinking this, and I'm really hoping a doctor will listen to my concerns. I am REALLY nervous to go to the doctors tomorrow, but I know it is what is best for me and my family.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should say to the doctor? I am going to write it all down because I get really really really nervous around doctors!
Thank you guys, :)

I just don't know!
As everyone knows, I've missed my period. 5 tests down, and still negative. I didn't take a single test until 1 1/2 weeks after my period was supposed to come, and like once a week since then. I am ASSUMING I would have got a positive pregnancy test by now, especially since when I found out I was pregnant with Tyler, I tested on day 5 of my missed period and a positive result showed. For the past few months though, (as noted in previous entries) I've been feeling all around BLAH! I'm tired all the time, not overly happy, and stressing a lot! I'm hoping that my missed period has to do with all of this. I've been googling my symptoms (bad, I know!) and a lot of stuff keeps popping up about hyperthyroidism. Here's a list of symptoms of this condition.

My cousin has hypothyroidism. She's only 19 years old. Her quality of life is fine, she just gets cold and tired a lot easier than the average person. And she's fainted a few times as well. She has medication for it. I know another girl, who is closer to my age and her hypothyroidism was severe. After a lot of years of trying to fight it, her doctor decided to do surgery and remove her thyroid. She feels great ever since. So as you can see, it's different for every individual.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was having the same unexplained missed periods you are, the first thing my doctor did was send me for blood work to get my thyroid checked. So it must be fairly routine to do that, I would assume. In any case, ask your doctor to do that to you. At the very least, it can put your worries to rest.
