Sounds like a busy day. This is from webmd.com.
"Symptoms of hypothyroidism usually develop slowly over months or years. Symptoms and signs may include:
* Coarse and thinning hair.
* Dry skin.
* Brittle nails.
* A yellowish tint to the skin.
* Slow body movements.
* Cold skin.
* Inability to tolerate cold.
* Feeling tired, sluggish, or weak.
* Memory problems, depression, or difficulty concentrating.
* Constipation.
* Heavy or irregular menstrual periods that may last longer than 5 to 7 days.
Other, less common symptoms may include:
* An enlarged thyroid gland (goiter).
* Modest weight gain, often 10 lb(4.5 kg) or less.
* Swelling of the arms, hands, legs, and feet, and facial puffiness, particularly around the eyes.
* Hoarseness.
* Muscle aches and cramps."
Any of those that you are experiencing may go away once your thyroid med stabilizes. If it doesn't, then you'll know there is something else to find.
Oh yeah, my name is Melissa. But you can call me hohoyumyum or hoho or really anything that seems good to you (as long as you're not throwing mean names my way, *chuckles*).
