Help!! low libido ruining my relationship - thyroid problems??

I'm at my wits end right now. I am just so tired of feeling bleh! I have no energy, I literally wake up feeling groggy, I am finding that sometimes I even have difficulty stringing sentences together, I have put on more weight (coz I have no evergy to do anything). And I have no sex drive whatsoever....I mean really nada...zilch.

This has been going on for months now, I had been putting it down to the fact that I had MC in Jan & since then have just been feeling overloaded with my new job, DF new job, finding out DF will need surgery on old injury & a whole string of other little hiccups. But in the last few weeks its really started to worry me, its affecting my work, my friendships & my home life & relationship with my fiance of 7yrs. I feel 'flat' all the time, like my brain has turned to mush & am finding work & socialising an effort because I just cant focus. Ive felt this before & was diagnosed as depressed, but it doesn't feel right to me......I just dont feel depressed. Certainly the fact that I can take a step back & realise that there are things I want to be doing things but just cant bring myself to do them, is a little depressing:confused:

But my relationship is really worrying me. He obviously feels neglected & seems incapable of actually talking to me about any of it & Ive tried to explain to him but he just doesnt hear me. ITs gotten so much worse in the last month or so, the more I wonder what is wrong with me, the less I feel like DTD & then he just pulls away more.

But Ive made an appointment for my GP next week (the earliest I could get in).
I am starting to wonder if maybe it could be my thyroid?? I don't know much about it but have read a few of the symptoms online & they seem to fit with me?

:grouphug:sorry you are not feeling yourself.

I was diagnosed with hashimoto's disease about 2 years ago now!!! I felt tired ALL the time, i had a VERY heavy period, and was feeling very over whelmed and NO sex drive either!!!! Going to the dr is the best thing you can do. I had NO idea i had anything wrong with me but my Dr knew straight away!!! Goodluck and i hope that you can find an answer!!!!

I have thyroid problems and experience the same symptoms as you. When you see your GP, ask for a scan. I had bloodtests to test hormones, which fell within the normal ranges. It wasn't until I had a scan on my lungs that my enlarged thyroid was picked up. My GP then referred me for a thyroid scan which showed a number of nodules in both thyroid lobes. I have an appointment on Wednesday morning with an endocrinologist to see what we're going to do about it now.

Good luck.

thanks for the support. Ive been struggling with this for a while now & was at my wits end wondering what was wrong with me & why I couldn't just make myself do something.
lovemykids - I read somewhere that aches are a symptom of hashimotos, neck/throat aches? did you have this symptom? Ive had almost constant aches for years now but had put it down to a bad back & neck, but am now wondering if its been masking something else.

I wish I could get an appoitnment with my GP today, now that I know what I need to do. Hannanat thanks, I will be asking about a scan at my appointment next week.

My hashimoto's was diagnosed almost straight away, mine was due to a hard labour and i only had symptoms for about two weeks!! I did not have aching or pain, BUT i had just given birth to my baby so I really thought that my symptoms were from labour/pregnancy!! I had never ever heard of it before and had no idea so you are already one step ahead of me :-) If you have any questions or anything don't hesitate to ask :-)
