So, you think your symptoms are pretty evenly split between hypo and hyper??? Some people gain weight whether hypo or hyper.
I think you do need to find a new doctor. You can try calling doctors' offices and pre-interviewing them over the phone (probably through a nurse).
I'd also seriously consider ordering the online tests...you'll feel so much better once you do something really positive toward feeling well.
I have an equAL amount of symptoms except for I don't have the weight loss. I have weight gain. I just want to feel better and want for my doctor to listen to me. I am tired of being exhausted to The point where I feel like I have been run over repeatedly by a semi truck.
In the early stages of Hashi's, symptoms often swing back and forth between hypo and hyper. Once the antibodies do enough damage to the thyroid, we become permanently hypo.
You gan google "hypothyroid symptoms" and "hyperthyroid symptoms" for a more complete list, but here are the most common:
Hypo: fatigue or drowsiness, weight gain, depression, cold intolerance, hair loss, brain fog, etc.
Hyper: fatigue and/or insomnia, weight loss, heat intolerance, anxiety, hand tremors, acne, etc.
Tell me if you think you're more hypo or more hyper after you look at the full lists.
What are the symptoms of hashimoto disease
Diarrhea is usually a symptom of hyperthyroid. It seems like your symptoms are kind of mixed. Mixed symptoms can be charasteric of early stages of Hashi's.
Okay so I have noticed now that when I eat stuff that I have normally eat and wouldn't upset me it makes me sick to where I have diarrhea. Is that symptom as well?
