    Hi Wowzer,

    I had a thyroid crisis after DD was born, was diagnosed hypothyroid in December last year, went on meds in March and am still having my dosage adjusted - due for more bloods in a week or 2.

    So what symptoms do you guys have? I am suceptable to the cold, moody, not sure about the weight gain (I am thin) but the scales have gone up 2 kilos in 2 weeks and I am an exercise junky and don't eat much junk food due to my wedding in the next few months.

    I was tested purely & simply because my mum found out her thyroid was completely non functioning. In hindsight though, I feel the cold terribly, fatigue, hair loss (not terribly bad, but I'm constantly shedding hair), muscle aches, decreased (virtually non-existent) libido & brain fogginess. So yeah just a few of them LOL!

    DH's main symptoms were hair loss and weight gain.
    I was vegan and getting blood tests done for iron etc, and he told his doctor about his symptoms so he did full bloods on him as well.
