Can a thyroid cause all of this?????????


Tomorrow, I go to the doctor and get my thyroid checked. I have about every symptom of hypothyroidism in the book. It may be nothing. I have noticed that every symptom could be tied to something else. i.e. I'm tired all the time...my child screams till all hours of the night. My skin is really dry...maybe I need higher quality lotion. My hair is dry and brittle...time for new shampoo? Hair loss......maybe I'm going bald. Better yet, maybe I'll be able to grow a beard by Christmas. J/K :) You get the picture.

It will be a relief either way to see if ole thyroid needs a jump start or is working just fine. I just want to know. It will put my mind at rest.

But you'd look great with a beard! :) Good luck! We'll be thinking about you.

I hope that you get that all sorted out. It is no fun to not feel well and thn wonder what is wrong.
