Hi,
See these are two symptoms I don't have: hair loss and weight gain. I flucuate between 115-130 for the past 15 years. I'm at 130 now :-( but that's because I have been eating more and not exercising like I was. 115 is too low and I"m rarely there. So I cannot attribute my weight gain in the past year to hypothyroid; well maybe some of it. But because of my decrease in exercise and increase in eating. Not that I"m eating that much; but I've been working in a restaurant the past year and eating late and fatty rich foods.
However, I have the other symptoms: cold hands/feet/bum/nose (all my extremities - yes bum is extremely extremity), low body temp, low blood pressure (today it's 85/69), dry skin, FATIGUE; dizziness and grogginess/space case in the morning with puffy eyes and bags and COLD.
The more I talk about it and hear about it, the more I think I could benefit by trying armour. And is there danger in "just trying it" if I"m not hypothyroid? anyone know that?
Can a psychiatrist write an RX for that?
